Pathfinder CS5 Illustrator & scaling help please.

I was haing issues with the transform tool in Illustrator CS5. When I scale a path such as, for example, a rectangle rounded, the corners keep changing size, or even change their LxH proportions where they shouldn't and not to do when they should.

However, the main problem is still worse. I cut a rectangle rounded on another, so the lower corners were reversed, ending up with two points at the bottom. Whenever I put on the scale of a form like this, broken reverse corners back to norml, turning back into a regular rounded rectangle.

This is a setting by default, or perhaps a feature, as it does it since installation, but he made the program less useful than CS4, so I'd love to do power off.

If anyone else has had similar problems with CS5 change their paths randomly, and nobody knows how to stop it?

Thank you.

Nota Bene: I read somewhere about how to disable "snap to grid of pixels" in the processing area, but does nothing to solve the problem either.

Good point, Kurt. I checked that before scaling. It is unchecked here so I guess that it is not checked for tarragon.

However, as soon as I check aligned to the pixel grid these corners lower flip.

(Yes I would classify this as a bug. A slight change in shape is sometimes expected to line up on the grid of pixels, but these corners should not return completely.)
