This looks like misinformation to me. I never had the impression that
this checkbox maximized the size in any way. It maintains correct aspect
ratio, for example when I specify an exact width and no height. The
image may very well be small - i.e. not maximized in any way.
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.
I see. Good thing I didn't try to fix this myself. It never occured to
me to set all three of height, width, and maintain aspect ratio - I
thought it was an impossible combination. Now I see that it is useful.
