Changes (by lutra):

  * platform_version:  10.6 (Snow Leopard) =>
  * version:  1.3.0 => HEAD
  * summary:  Area tool goes amok => Measure tools and scale give wrong
              readings with OTFR disabled

Comment:

 I believe this is really the behaviour of qgis right now: if otfr is not
 enabled then layer units must be defined accordingly to crs units (in
 project properties), otherwise the scalebar will be wrong and measure
 tools will work accordingly with the bar.

 With otfr enabled things seems really to work as expected.
