Is it normal for the scanning width and height of a CRT monitor to change when I change resolutions?

I spent the time to adjust the width and height of the raster in the CRTs built in menu to use the maximum space on the glass.
However, when I change resolutions for different games and even when the system boots (BIOS is 640x480, desktop is 1024x768) the aspect ratio and screen size is messed up.

In fact, even when I stay on the resolution I calibrated for I am having the problem of the screen suddenly switching back resulting in destop icons and game HUDs being stretched horribly or pushed out of the visible part of the display.

I don't remember having this problem many years ago on our old win98 PC.

What causes this problem and how can it be fixed?
