*And who's to say it wasn't tested in P6?*

I'm just assuming that's what happened, because why release it with this flaw, when it's so easy to fix? As Anton said, it would take only a minute or two to fix.

*"You set the max. texture size to approximately the size of your render."

Actually no*

You don't have to, but it works well to eliminate noisy textures and speeds up the render. There is a slight decrease in quality, but for animation, you won't even notice. And for animators, it could make the difference between rendering in a few minutes and a render that takes hours.

You might find the discussion in the link interesting. It explains why large textures are often noisy in Firefly, and why reducing the Max. texture size fixes it.

I don't render with the max. texture size set to the minimum all the time, but I like to have the option.
