I know it's a config option.

I know, but please read the bugreport again ;-)

Short summary:This feature is only useful for proportional width fonts, and
should be ignored for fixed fonts.

Expected behaviour IMHO (always assuming it's enabled in the config):
a) use smaller font size for quotes when proportional font is used
b) do _not_ use smaller font size if I switch to a fixed width font [1] (which
I typically do to see what is "underlined" with ^^^^^^^^^^^^)
c) use smaller font size again after switching back to proportional font
