IMHO repeating the "Scale" on the second line adds visual noise and makes it harder to understand that the two entries belong together and give access to two dimensions of the same control. Please don't let us change this. A whole lot of thought went into this, it's used consistently and there's no compelling reason to change it. If screen readers need this info, we can certainly add a hint for them using the ATK API. Sven
