Impossible to apply 100% character width to an entire document

[BlackDalek]

Do this to get the bug to show -
First open a large document with multiple paragraphs and various formatting.

Now change the character width for whole document. Press select all (Ctrl+A) then Format>Character...> Position > scale width 10%

Now try to change it back to 100%. Press select all (Ctrl+A) then Format>Character...> Position > scale width 100%. - Nothing happens.
It is ONLY possible to enter scale widths between 1% and 99%, and between 101% and above - entering 100% has no effect across multiple paragraphs.

The only way to restore the whole document to 100% character width is to format each paragraph separately - Try doing that over a 100 page document.

I can see what is going wrong. When multiple paragraphs are selected, each with different styles and formatting, the default value is shown in the scale width box (100%). And since 100% is already in the box, the program has no way of knowing that you are actually entering a new value.

What should be happening is that when you select multiple paragraphs, the scale width box should be empty. That way, if you then enter 100% in the box, the program will recognise that a number has been entered and act on it accordingly.

A workaround for the problem is to enter 100.0% into the box. This gets around the problem of the "100%" being ignored and the scale is applied to the entire document.
