hello again
i just realized i have the source code of this class :)
i looked at it and idd, setrectanglescalefactor does NOT update the geometry
but i found also a workaround :
just set the label of the Text2D object after you set the scale factor
then the geometry gets updated :)
so i suppose this is a bug?
