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 ;-(

Hi

Is there a way that I can set it so that the scale bar keeps the width on the page based on the actual relative width rather than keeping the width based on the map units? Example below the first image shows what it looks like at a scale of 1:1250, and the second image shows what it looks like at a scale of 1:200 (ideally I want the scale bar to keep the same width as the second image, but change the map units).
