Bug Description

If you scale a text horizontal or vertical with different percentual values the showed size in text-dialog for each object is different and wrong.
See attachement.
So if once exist a tranform matrix 'scale(X,Y)' it isn´t possible to set an correct size for one or multi selected text objects.
The only solution is to delete the transform matrix, set all objetcts to the same size and scale each object individual again.

A GUI like in AI or Corel to show and set all text properties will be helpfull.

Not sure if this is really a bug or rather a missing UI for (preserved) transformations applied to text objects, marking as 'Wishlist' item for now.

Is there a chance to get a solution next time for this bug/wish. I wonder that there are so less discussions about this topic.
Did nobody have the requirement to work with exact text sizes ?
