Hi Paolo,

can you be more specific?

Do you refer to the "map units per map unit" selector in the "scale bar" configurations of the print composer?

If yes, I also cannot see how it can be useful (but I may be missing something obvious) but I otherwise see no problem at all if the the map units are in degrees. See attached image.

I confirm:

- load a layer in 4326

- activate the print composer and add a map

- change the scale by hand (e.g. 250000)

- click outside the box where you input the scale

the value is changed

Ok, now I got it and I confirm. Playing around with the steps provided is also pretty easy to produce irresponsive scale bars that the composer do not allow to select/remove from the layout.
