    Then you unset the 'automatically adjust resolution to fit desired
aspect ratio' option... ;-) Seriously, though, as you point out, there are
situations where this automatic adjustment could be annoying I think these
are far fewer than those situations in which the current settings are
annoying... I don't think Fabien was suggesting doing anything that would
make it impossible to render at non-matching scene and output aspect
ratios...
