OK. I got it. It look like undocumented Kindle "feature" as I replicated this on Paperwhite too.

Problem is on both sides: Kindle doing something unpredictable and KCC don't take into account this scenario.

Animation and Fit to Screen options should not be available at all.

Enable upscaling. That will produce proper output. I will add some workaround for this issue in next release after I research it more thoroughly.

EDIT:
Found the cause. When ALL images are smaller than screen resolution then no page have any Panel View data. In this case Kindle force virtual Panel View even if MOBI header is set to use real Panel View. And that cause this entire anomaly. I will fix it in next release.

Additionally in this scenario big margins are expected output. As I said before KCC don't upscale images by default. So chapter 3 is converted correctly. I know that might be a little counterintuitive but chapter 2 fail to display properly not third.

KCC is designed to create MOBI files that don't require any image manipulations on Kindle level. It is faster and does not decrease the quality of images.

EDIT2:
And it is fixed in dev branch. Thank you for reporting it.
