Yes.

:)

It's a bug (IMHO) that the OS X interface element presented to the user has
control (the 'scale' input text field) whose value is not passed back to
the corresponding Java object.

On the other hand, the PageFormat object doesn't *have* a 'scale' attribute
(that I can see) to represent the value of that field, so I guess that
would be a feature (and on operating systems that don't present a 'scale'
control in the corresponding dialog, would presumably always return 100.0?).
