[Qgis-user] QGIS scale bar - fixing the width

[Andreas Neumann]

Hi Chris,

This is a known limitation of QGIS - the graphical scalebar doesn't work 
well with changes in map scale. Version 2.10 (to be released in 1.5-2 
weeks) addresses this issue by introducing a new option called "Fit 
segment width" (see image below) where the map units are adopted and the 
segment length varies between min/max ranges. This works very well 
across all map scales.

Until then you would either have to avoid the graphical scale-bar and 
replace it with a numerical one, or you have to manually adjust the 
scalebar after each change in map scale ;-(
