Could you help me?
I have a problem with the concept of font bodies in parentheses... For a few versions, this problem has appeared. Has anyone already had this problem? Would you have a tip to disable this function whose use I do not understand?
It is very disabling for me.
Thank you very much for your help!

The text frame was scaled while grouped with other objects. The number in the parenthesis is the actual size, the number before is the size applied. To remove the parenthesis go to the flyout menu in the Control Panel (top right of the screen), and choose "Redefine Scaling as 100%".

Hi @damienb72056456 , That happens when you scale rather than resize a text frame (e.g. using the Free Transform tool), and your General>When Scaling Preference is set to Adjust Scaling Percentage

With the text frame selected, you can use the Transform Panel’s Redifine Scaling as 100% to set the point size to the scaled size.

Yes, I knew the function - Redifine Scaling as 100% - but I found it very complicated to do it every time...
So I will rather uncheck the parameter
General>When Scaling Preference is set to Adjust Scaling Percentage
Thank you very much
