It already was configurable.  I just changed that from a hidden preference 
item (changed via regedit in Windows)  to a visible preference item.  I was 
using that and setting it higher since long before I decided to try to get 
the build of hugin to work for me.  It certainly is something I wanted as a 
user.  Maybe it depends on your display resolution whether it is helpful.

Interpolation artifacts don't necessarily prevent the feature from 
providing better information as you decide whether a manually adjusted CP 
is in exactly the right place.

A larger width for the magnifier is likely a prerequisite for a larger 
scale to be useful and a high resolution on your physical display is likely 
a prerequisite for the larger width to be useful.  I doubt I'm the only 
user who wants to work that way.  But I suspect I'm in a much smaller 
minority both in taking the trouble to find out what hugin registry setting 
would do it and in being comfortable with regedit.

That version of the description was for those who might try to build from 
my branch, not for casual users.
The tooltip inside the preferences dialog explains the main use.  The two 
notes on the side explained only the exceptions.  I would also edit the 
help text.

It may be hard for you to see as a long time user, but most settings in 
hugin preferences are much harder for inexperienced users to understand.  
I'm happy to try to improve it.  But I think I started at better than 
average.
