If you enlarge a text, the size is shown wrongly #321

Magneticdud commented 2 years ago

Version: 2.0 rc5 build 20210831 on Zorin 16.

What I do: type a text, then change its size with the mouse. The program internally applies an enlargment on top of the size, instead of adjusting the actual text size.

For example, I type something with text size 12 points:

immagine

Then, I enlarge it with the transformation tool or with the mouse. The text mouse is still 12 points, even if it's bigger:

immagine

For example on CorelDRAW the program internally matches the size of the text to have the desired size (example it makes a text object at 22.543 points, instead of a text object with text at 12 points, enlarged at 130%)

This happen because you resizes (scale) text object, so probably by design there should indicator of object scale & a button to reset scale back to original 1:1, but I'm not sure how does it coded as for now, so need check.

BTW, I may just recommend temporary just do not scale text objects, but instead edit its text size for enlarge texts.

I checked more in detail. In sk1 there's indeed a button in the menu to reset transformations to original 1:1

I compared inkscape and over there the text size is enlarged when you scale the object. I could not see a button to reset transformations in inkscape, though (I'm not a fan of inkscape, I'm not very used to it), so if you deform the text, like squeeze it, it's permanent
