I have some detail tool "favorites settings". One is for a circular detail, another for a "rounded rectangle".
wouldn't it be nice if when using the circular shape and holding down the shift key while defining the detail that it would scale the circle radius relative to the detail size?
Or, am I due for another night's sleep to find out there is a button in front of my eyes that controls this?

It seems, to my thinking, to be a poorly scripted part. In my own detail marker, I set the radius to a fixed (paper) size parameter (I usually use 1/8" to 1/4") regardless of the size of the detail.
You might try a different marker symbol. I think that the NCS part works OK (though not well enough that I actually use it myself

It was more an observation than complaint, that is why I titled it feature or bug.
the NCS detail marker works the same for the rounded rectangle i.e the radius grows with the size of the marker.
The NCS circle version grows correctly; the circles are as large as the box used to define them and do not turn into rounded rectangles.
For set radius on a rounded rectangle, or if you want more than one size corner radius, you can use the Standard Detail Marker Circle version.

With Detail Indicator_NCS in rounded rectangle mode, there is an editable hotspot at the mid point of the radius that can be adjusted by selecting stretch mode in the pet palette. You even get a numeric input box.
