Strange behaviour when scaling GREP styled text.

Thanks! I wish there was more documentation that you can set those transformPreferences.whenScaling multiple times as you did, I would have assumed it was an either or as the UI only gives you radio buttons.. It's true we are using XMPie and I will test this on Monday but it so far it seemed to do the job. Thank you very much!
