If render settings resolution scale had lowered resolution, cached images from render image/animation session could "stay around" and be incorrectly used in the VSE preview area. Two cases I found are fixed here: - Intra-frame cache was not flushed upon actual final resolution change, - "Source images" for effect/scene strips were not removed when requested resolution no longer matches their rendered resolution.
