PIXEL_SCALE was inherited by overlays. While this was originally intentional, there are situations where it is not desirable, and most of the situations where it would have been wanted are already handled by KEEP_TOGETHER. So, this flag is no longer inherited.

This issue has been resolved.
PIXEL_SCALE is inherited from the root appearance by all child appearances, including overlays, vis_contents, image objects, etc.

As there is no parent override flag, and such a flag is undesirable due to limitations to appearance flags in the first place, it would be better that this oversight be corrected and individual appearances dictate their own filtering when scaled.
