Hi mbvistaprint,
To be clear what exactly is the problem, you have to provide some example, at least, or describe the way you are using to "confirm the size". Size is reported correctly as always. Nothing has changed recently related to the size (as far as I know).
If I have to bet, not the size confirmation itself is your issue. If you are using HEAD request to perform size confirmation and in advance you check file type then yes, there is a change (bug actually). Check exactly what you are doing, where is the error, and post additional info describing this error.
Hope this gives direction.
Add: Another possible reason, if you are using HTTP protocol version less than 2 together with HEAD request, "chunked" transfer encoding used by Dropbox "encodes" file size within data transfer itself and so not available within a HEAD response (not in the regular way at least). Check for this too. In such a case file size is still available but in "X-Dropbox-Content-Length" response header. 😉
