System Information
Operating system: macOS-11.6-x86_64-i386-64bit 64 Bits
Graphics card: Intel Iris Pro OpenGL Engine Intel Inc. 4.1 INTEL-16.5.2

Blender Version
Broken: version: 3.0.0 Alpha, branch: master, commit date: 2021-10-05 22:29, hash: 26dac33ce1
Worked: (newest version of Blender that worked as expected)

Short description of error
On changing Proxy Render Size to 50% or 25% in View Setting in VSE Preview the preview in the left is zooming in and just showing 50% or 25% of the screen instead of just lowering down the resolution and show the whole preview size.

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error

Open Lastest build as mentioned above.
Click on the + sign in Workspaces... and + -> VFX -> Motion Tracking
In the bellow "Movie Clip Editor", Open any video.
No need to do anything with it.
Now think you actually had to open VSE. (You may ignore this step.. I had it to be exact :) )
Now again change Workspace by pressing + (plus) -> Video Editing -> Video Editing

{F10820699}

In the Sequencer under Add menu -> in Clip menu.. you will notice the video we've added in Motion Tracking is listed. Click on that.

{F10820745}

Now activate this stripe.
Now move your cursor to the top middle Preview section and hit N

{F10820820}

In the view tab change Proxy Render Size to 25%

{F10820801}

See the fun.

{F10820830}

Now if this stripe is activate, hit S and scale it down. .. you will see everything is there.
Now hit Alt+S to reset the scale.
Now again in the Sequencer ... under Add menu -> add Movie (select the same movie clip or anything else)

     {F10820896}

You will see it is full screen uncropped clip in above window as expected.
Now activate this Strip
Check in above Preview screen there Proxy Render Size is still 25% . you can keep it or change it if you want.
Notice.. this clip is fine. .

RUN TIME ISSUE FOUND
19. I found another issue here.. if I hit Alt+S it will scale up the newly added Movie cli... it's mean it was already scaled down..

[Based on the default startup or an attached .blend file (as simple as possible)]

Wonder if this might be related to https://developer.blender.org/T90855 ?

I think this is caused because no proxy is created for clips, if you try to set it manually while the clip is selected the error message suggests select a Movie Clip or Image.

Do we actually want clips to be added to the VSE? Maybe disable the option and have users import the original Movie Clip instead.

Or enable proxy for clips too?

In the VSE only?

You can work around this issue, but is should work in first place. I think this is also problem with scene strips where you can't easily do workarounds.

I never knew Blender take issues so seriously.. and this much focus and respond from you gurus is really appreciated. This also pushing me to find more bugs to make Blender rule the CG world!. Hat's off everyone!.
