If you give both width and height, you specify a bounding box that should not be exceeded. So, the image will be scaled to the maximum size such that neither the specified width nor the specified height are exceeded. If you only specify one of the dimensions, the other one can freely grow. Maybe the tooltip could be changed to "Scale image to maximum size not exceeding the bounding box specified by width and height". -- Enrico
