Heh, I hit that stupid option also. Turn off "Crop Slides to fit on
screen". Note that it says crop, not stretch. 

It's increasing the size of the slide so that it fits both across and up
and down. That means it'll cut off (crop) on or the other depending on
the orientation of the slide, unless the dimensions of the slide are an
exact multiple of the screen.

Silly option, not useful.
