Render View Window Control

Again not a bug.

I'm in the stages of detailing a relatively large scene (1680 x 1050) and using the crop render on a small area near the bottom of the scene.  I start the render and the image viewer pops up.  The title bar says "Render View  1680x1050 @ reduced size 100%".  Not sure what the 100% really means since the window is not using 100% of my screen (1680x1050) though it is reduced. 

Anyway, what I usually do is reduce the render view size to just cover the area I'm crop rendering so I can look (not change) at various parameters as I watch the render.  So everything is fine.  I see something I'd like to change so I either stop the render or let it finish (this is what I do most of the time).  When the render finishes or when I stop it, the view window expands back to that "100% reduced."  What I'd like to have happen is for the view window stay at the size I set it to with the same scroll bar positions.  Then I can make a change and restart the render.

So is there a way to do this now or would this be worthwhile to implement?

the 100% is a base off the reduced size.  So 50% = zoomed out, 200% = zoom in, etc.  Would be nice to get a indicator of what size its been reduced to if possible.

It would be nice if the window remained the size you put it to once render completed, I agree with that, there are times where I do similar things.

Thanks.  I really appreciate it when advanced users take the time to answer rookie questions.  It's easy to get caught up in the "well it works this way in xyz" syndrome.

Not a bad suggestion to be sure, it'll go in the hopper with the many other tweaks to implement.
