New document creating too large a file/artboard size

Question

When I do File- New Document and set my pixel size the artboard that generates is much larger than I set, which makes the size of fonts really off, as well as longer load time when editing. (A file that isn't very large is now at 33% and fills the window where I should have to zoom in to fill the window)

It is also making the exported file size far too large - for example, a 2048 x 2048 px at 72ppi came out to 1.4 MB.

How do I get it back to creating the correct pixel size for new documents?

Many times when users report this, they have accidentally used inches or cm instead of pixels. Can you double-check that these are both in pixels as you intended?

2048 x 2048 px
72ppi

If this isn't it, can you show a screenshot?
