Hi Martin,

No need to bugzilla this ; it is caused by a
'newImage' handler higher up the message path, which
will automatically apply the default object size from
the preferences, if an image is smaller than 9x9
pixels.
So the easiest way to work around this feature, is to
trap the 'newImage' message yourself and not 'pass'
it.

Hope this helped,

Jan Schenkel.
