VIEWRES question layout to model

Here's the setup. VIEWRES set at 5000 in MS and set at 100 in layout. When I switch from model to layout and back to model, the VIEWRES changes back to 100 in MS. This doesn't happen on a co-workers machine that has 2012LT. Another co-worker has 2014LT and it does it. I have 2014 and it does it. Did the behavior change or is there a system variable that I need to change?
