Description

Steps to reproduce:
1. Create a UITextField text interactively as the user drags the mouse. Happens with AIR or web app. Try the source code and stretch the window to various sizes and aspect ratios.

Actual Results:
Kerning changes erratically--the space on one side of a letter will suddenly increase and the space on the opposite will decrease as scale changes. If the vertical scale is larger than the horizontal scale this behavior may stop.

Expected Results:
Kerning changes uniformly with scale, as when using TextField

Workaround (if any):
Use TextField instead of UITextField.
