default size image

Not a crash, just a "feature" that used to be present in older versions. The behavior in new versions i.e. 22.08.0 is erratic with some composition overlays expanding such as with -> right click -> add composition, but others from the composition menu not expanding upon placement. When dragged and dropped from the composition menu, the default "band" overlay is defaults to a tiny (horizontal) size that is almost useless, and you can't even change it's size without zooming in by miles. I hold that the best behavior is to expand the band upon drag and drop and if a smaller band is required it could be controlled by clipping or resizing. Maybe a config setting can adjust this default behavior if other people have other experiences during editing.


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
Have two videos, drag a composition between them from the composition menu. Upon placement, it will be nano-scale in size. 

OBSERVED RESULT
During high-speed workflow editing. It's a game-changer no to have to zoom in by five hundred miles to resize the overlay band manually each and every time when using compositions.

EXPECTED RESULT
Older versions did not have this discrepancy.
