This was very deliberate. Explore mode does two things:

Makes the region displayed fill the window and
Makes the region one cell per pixel on the display device.

The solution is more documentation or ...

I actually considered two separate toggle buttons when I designed this, one 
for filling the screen and one for automatic resolution changes. Another 
interesting behaviour is the one you described, "a constant number of grid 
cells are represented in the display window", but it is slightly less obvious 
how to use.
