    Default XXP4 issue - Resizing and "repel text"

    First thing - when resizing shape that has set repel margin, margin retains original size. Not a bug but can cause trouble sometimes and resizing margin manually is time consuming (not to mention coplicated calculations . Maybe i'm just blind and theres somwhere hidden toggle similar to "Scale line widths"...

    Second thing - looks like repel behavior is a little incosistent as it gives different results depending on size and position of text and shapes with repel margin.

    Try this:
    Create text block and fill it.
    Place shape over it and set repel margin to 5pix
    Select both the text and the shape, clone selection and move it to different position.
    Change size of the selection to 50%, now shape still has margin set to 5pix so results probably differ from original.
    Set repel margin to 2.5pix to reflect 50% scale.
    Now you have two blocks that should look the same just one should be 50% smaller. Depending on exact shapes/text configuration results differ for me. It works about half the time.

    Video clearly shows whats wrong
