[OpenLayers-Users] Fixed Scales & minScale problem

[Alexandre Dube]

Hi everybody,

  I've got a strange behavior in my OL application.  I've got some 
layers with simple params like minScale/maxScale like the following :

// layer
        olWFSRoads = new OpenLayers.Layer.WFS(
            "Routes - WFS", sMSURL,
            { typename: "BDGA_ROUTE_L_ARC", map: sBDGAMapPath },
            { extractAttributes: true, minScale: 25000,
              typename: "BDGA_ROUTE_L_ARC", styleMap: oStyleMap
            }
        );
// ----------------------------------------

  I use the following map options :

// old way
        var oMapOptions = {
            controls: [],
            units: 'm',
            maxResolution: 156543.0339,
            maxExtent: new OpenLayers.Bounds(
                -1192709.604,
                -204908.6926,
                1172293.7082,
                2338511.3665
            ),
            projection: new OpenLayers.Projection("EPSG:32198")
        };
// ----------------------------------------

  I want to use more rounded scale numbers, like the following :

// new way

        var oMapOptions = {
            controls: [],
            units: 'm',
            maxResolution: 156543.0339,
            maxExtent: new OpenLayers.Bounds(
                -1192709.604,
                -204908.6926,
                1172293.7082,
                2338511.3665),
            projection: new OpenLayers.Projection("EPSG:32198"),
            numZoomLevels: 11,
            scales:  [13000000, 8000000, 4000000, 2000000, 
1000000,                   // <---------------
                      500000, 250000, 100000, 50000, 25000, 10000]
        };
// ----------------------------------------

The problem is, some of my layer loses their minScale value ( like the 
one above, olWFSRoads ).  It's changed to 13000000 as soon as it's added 
to the map !  I have an other WMS layer that does the same thing, and 
some others don't...  But they have the same params.

Is this a bug or I'm missing something new when I set scales : [...] as 
a new map option ?
