Launcher won't resize game window of Minecraft 1.5.2 according to resolution setting in Profile Editor

What I expected to happen was:
The game window to automatically be resized according to the setting in Profile Editor after pressing the "Play" button.

What actually happened was:
The game window resolution is 854x480 no matter what I type in Profile Editor.

Steps to Reproduce:
In Profile Editor tick "Resolution" and set any resolution other than 854x480
Press "Play" button.

PS. I used the search function and I didn't find any ticket for this problem. I hope I didn't create a duplicate. If I did, my apologies.
