Do not scale text when you have a text style applied
When I have selected multiple blocks of text or lines of text, I would like the option to scale the bounds as if I were selecting only one field, without scaling the font size — especially when a font style is applied. Alternatively, it would be helpful to have an option within the font styles to lock scaling. I often work on menus and need to lock scaling when moving or resizing groups of items. I wouldn’t mind needing to manually update the font style if I choose to scale text after locking document scaling.

Bradley, there are two related reports on the topic:
1. Resizing Area Type using Transform or Properties panel should not transform text inside — http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/31858351
2. Area Type text stretching when transformed with another shape — http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/601447/suggestions/44042973
But if you select only area type objects and nothing else and resize them using the shared bounding box — no scaling happens, at least when I test it.
Which method do you use to resize?
I think your report can be merged into the first of these — would you agree?
