scaleFactor strangeness

[Scott Rossi]

Many of us tried to do the same thing when the feature was first
announced.  Unfortunately, you can't really use it for a zoom effect, at
least not since I last looked into this.  As you've seen, the stack jumps
around as the scale is changed, and even if you reposition it dynamically,
the results aren't the best.
