Pitch Shifting makes audio louder (way louder) than the original

WaveLab

Hi. I’m running my WL Pro 11 on a Mac mini.
On the PROCESS tab I’ve got Pitch Shifting function. When I commit “Quick +1/-1 Semitone” it works reasonably fine but when I open pitch shifting dialogue box and go for +1 semitone, it goes +1 semitone shifted AND gain increased by about 5 dB.

Here is my Global Analysis data.
[Original (1) / Quick +1 semitone (2) / +1 semitone via dialogue box (3)]
PEAK. -8.3 (1) -9.3 (2). -4.3 (3)
Avg. Loudness -22.3 (1). -22.0 (2). -17.7 93)
Max. Loudness -14.8 (1). -14.2 (2) -9.8 (3)

I got the same results when I do this on a Montage and on Audio Editor.
