Unwanted horizontal text scaling
Illustrator will apply horizontal scaling to text when I am working on different part of the document. This even happens to text that is on a hidden layer. So far I have failed to "catch Illustrator in the act" so can't say what leads up to it happening. I just look at the text and it is magically scaled! Bah!

This happened to me as well! Lol a lot of my previous works have like 101.5 100.9 Horizontal Scales. I have found the culprit, if you use outline object effect in appearance panel and use the "use preview bounds" and type in the text box size manually, illustrator will mess up the horizontal scale. The work around is to completely outline the text or to not use the outline object effect at all together with "use preview bounds".
