Default When copying and pasting charts the chart size decreases

Sometimes when in excel I can not copy charts and paste them without them
automatically decreasing in size by what looks to be a set ratio. i know to
select "don't move or size with cells", but this does not help. This problem
is erratic and can just start occurring in a worksheet after i have pasted
other charts without this problem. Any help with this would be much
appreciated.

Default When copying and pasting charts the chart size decreases

In Excel 2003 and earlier, if the window zoom is not 100%, if you copy
an embedded chart and paste it, it will be pasted at a size
approximately equal to the original size times the zoom. This is one
reason it is often suggested that Excel only be used at 100%.

I have even written an article about this curiosity:
