P: Text layer inconsistent property values (new in 13.0.5 / 13.0.1.2)
I'm opening a new topic regarding the new text problems introduced with Photoshop 13.0.5 (Mac) and 13.0.1.2, which seem like a result of attempting to fix earlier font-size reporting issues.
This is worse than before, because:
1) It happens a lot more often (I can open a new file and reproduce the bug easily).
2) Now some properties are "scale aware" and some aren't, resulting in quite a messy experience when editing text.
Bug A (OS X, 13.0.5):
1) Open a new photoshop file.
2) Create a text layer, type a word, commit.
3) Using the transform layer tool, scale the layer up significantly (say 200-300%)
4) Using the text tool, select the word, copy.
5) Using the text tool, click empty area to create a new text layer, paste.
Expected: Same text size the layer I copied AFTER scaling it.
Actual: Smaller text as the text layer was originally created.
Bug B (OS X, 13.0.5):
1) Create a text layer with "add space after paragraph" to 10pt.
2) Scale the text layer using the transform tool to 300%.
Expected: "add space after paragraph" must show as 30pt now, and render as 30pt.
Actual: "add space after paragraph" shows as 10pt, *BUT RENDERS* as 30pt.
The same bug may apply to other text layer settings (kerning, tracking etc.).
The result can be two text fields with identical settings, yet different rendering, example file:

Bug C (Windows, 13.0.1.2):
After scaling a text layer with the transform tool, I observe "magical" multiplication of the values I enter for various properties of the text layer, like "add space after paragraph".
I enter there 10, hit enter, the text box becomes 20.
I enter 20, hit enter, the text box becomes 40.
This also happens with the other settings. For example:
I enter "Tracking" 50, the text box becomes 21.
I enter 21, the text box becomes 8.
I enter 8, the text box becomes 3.
Obviously, that makes any text editing very hard.
