scaleFactor strangeness

[Scott Rossi]

Believe me, Marty, that was the first thing I asked about.  I sent them a
demo stack that illustrated the limitations of the effect, but they said
they couldn't make the behavior work the way I (and you) want.

You can try the demo stack via your message box:
