For me it changes size only when I release the mouse button. The size
changes happen because Mathematica tries to fit the bounding box into
the view area as well as possible (even with Boxed -> False). To avoid
size changes, try the option SphericalRegion -> True.
Graphics3D[Sphere[{0,0,0}], SphericalRegion -> True]
