Interesting proxy settings

Hi!
I have stumbled upon a very strange (to me) behavior in Shake. For some reason one of my scripts have problems using the proxy settings. You know, the button/dropdown-menu above the Node View which says "Base", "P1", "P2", "P3" or "Other".
The problem is that when changing proxy-resolution the image in the Viewer doesent keep its size. It actually gets smaller if I e.g. go from "Base" to "P1".
Is this something you can tweek in Shake or is it some kind of glitch?
Any thoughts would be appreciated!

Ive been bashing my head against this "glitch" for some hours now and at last Ive realized why this happens.
When you change the proxy-resolutin of an image, what Shake does is making the image smaller but at the same time compensating by displaying it bigger. It does this by changing the "viewerZoom" under the "format"-tab in the "Global parameters". There is an expression written in the "viewerZoom" that changes the value relative to the proxyScale.
So the answer to my own question is: This is something you can tweek in Shake and its not a glitch.
