When I use the 1/2 or 1/4 resolution preview, I notice that some items in the composition change size. It seems to happen only with certain scaled images, not all of them. This doesn't happen with the complete preview.Is this a known bug, or is there a way to adjust the settings to prevent this (without having to switch the preview to full resolution)?

In the Program Monitor, go to Settings (wrench icon) and enable High Quality Playback.

Does it still happen if you render that particular section of the timeline?

This is a bug in the latest release;

If you don’t want to deal with it, either always use ‘full’ resolution as a workaround or downgrade to Premiere 26.0.2

I see you called it a ‘composition’ which is an AE term. FWIW: Do you find switching the res like that helps in PP. I never have, thus never use it, always on 100% as well as High Quality Playback from the wrench menu. It works great in AE.
