2.8.2.1 custom resolution for windowed mode in settings.txt no longer works?

I've been using a custom resolution when playing CK2 by editing settings.txt for quite a long time now, along with other paradox titles (EU and HOI for example), simply because the in game defaults are either too big: I can't see my other windows behind the game, or too small: not enough room to play the game comfortably.

I was using 1440x900 in settings.txt like this:

graphics=
{
    size=
    {
        x=1440
        y=900
    }
   # graphic options
}

but when the title boots up, it defaults immediately to 1680x1050. This also gets written in settings.txt immediately. The default "fixed" larger resolution, along with it being too big for me to enjoy, also results in weird behavior where my cursor doesn't click where it is visually.

Is this WAD? Is there some option I can set so I can revert to the previous behavior? And just for testing I tried booting up EU4 with the custom windowed mode resolution and it started with the resolution I specified in settings.txt

okay never mind I should have tested around a bit more, I missed this glaring option in settings.txt:

override_resolution_safety=no

I set it to yes and everything works as before. Not sure if this is a new option, and it kind of does beg the question of what the safety means? Hopefully it's not like my custom CK2 resolution will cause my monitor to plot my murder or anything

Thank you. The same problem was driving me nuts and I overlooked that line too.
