Yeah.  Only noticed the problem because it goes wonky like that.  :(

Just now went and retested to be sure, and yep, both the official Adobe
flash player (9.0.115.0) and Gnash (0.8.1 - AGG renderer) go wonky.

Perhaps it's an "interpretation" thing?

They could be meaning the "assumed to be zero" as (badly worded)
"assumed to have no change", but somehow it got into the spec as you
have it.

My workaround at the moment is to do this:

  current_ming_scale = Ming_getScale();
  Ming_setScale(1);
  SWFText_moveTo(text_object, 1, 0);
  Ming_setScale(current_ming_scale);

So it moves the pen to one twip of 0.

But it's pretty non-optimal to not be able to get back to 0 itself.  *sigh*

Regards and best wishes,
