Dual Monitor set-up!   The problem arose due to the use of dual monitors. Once 
I closed the lid on my laptop and restarted darktable, the program appeared at 
the proper magnification. When I opened the lid to reactivate the laptop 
screen, the correct magnification remained.

Just for the helluvit, I exited the program and restarted (with both monitors 
active)…
darktable opened at the earlier incorrect magnification.

This is clearly a bug, albeit one with an easy work-around.

My displays are as follows:

Laptop:
Display Type:   Retina LCD
Resolution:     2560 x 1600 Retina


External Monitor:
Resolution:     1920 x 1080 @ 60Hz (1080p)
Pixel Depth:    32-Bit Color (ARGB8888)
