I get the same odd result.

In the default notebook, the separation between Q's decreases when I drag  
a side or corner of the window and shrink it. (But the Qs don't change in  
size.) When the notebook window is small enough, it looks like the Help  
version. Changing the bounds of the Help window, OTOH, has no effect on  
the graphic.
