Description
When feature labels have their size defined in points instead of map units (new labelling engine; I haven't tried with the old) and symbols have their size defined in mm instead of map units (both new and old symbology):
The labels and symbols are displayed the same size in the composer as in the map view. If I use the buttons to zoom in and out in the composer (and make sure that the view is refreshed), they always stay the same size on the screen. They should instead be displayed correctly in relation to the layout size. If I print out the composer layout and move it towards me, the text appears to get bigger just as the paper does. The same should apply on-screen when using the zoom buttons in the composer.
