Inserts multiple scaled objects into a holder causes them to scale further

                 Key: SQ-935
                 URL: http://tracker.squeakland.org/browse/SQ-935
             Project: squeakland
          Issue Type: Bug
            Reporter: Stephen Thomas
            Priority: Critical


I am working on a project for kids to create their own "Combinations" projects.  For example given four skirts and 3 blouses, how many outfits can you create.
I want the kids to be able to take "snapshots" of the "outfits" and store them in a holder or on a gridded playfield.  

I was going to ask for a "Smalltalk" way to do this, then realized there was an Etoys way (that almost works).  I have the kids create the outfit, then run this script to copy it into a holder (so kids can see all the outfits on one page and re-arrange them to help "prove" they found them all). But, the problem is when you put scale factor <0.5 on each successive include, the other items in the holder scale down further.   

script1
	self setScaleFactor: 0.25.
	Holder1 include: self getNewClone.
	self setScaleFactor: 1.0

Couple of things I noticed:
 - when the scale is 0.5 or greater, there is no problem.
 - when you insert at 0.25 scale, then check the object in the holder, it shows a scale of 0.19
 - If I include in a "Playfield" instead of a holder, it seems to work fine (except I have to place it at the appropriate X,Y manually).

Attached is sample project demonstrating issue.

I marked this Critical, because I find "small multiples" very useful for learning and facilitating comparisons.
