Yes, we could compute based on pixels, and then resize based on how many
lines that would be.  But I wonder whether the mapping from pixels to
lines would run into the same problems as just counting lines does.

Perhaps it was meant as a way to quickly expand the frame to display all
of the image?  In the olden days, you couldn't shrink images, so perhaps
making the frame bigger momentarily was seen as a feature.

But just guessing.
