Scaling proportionally is the goal.

Hi mitcho,

I think current behaviour still don't resolve the problem of when resize window, the group shift and resize in undesirable way, nor finish scaling proportionally. 

Could we reopen the bug? The problem always bother me alot.

Hi,

there is also another possibility of resolving this issue - allowing panorama workspace to be larger than window size. See https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=671810. 
Actually it solves more issues that way.
