Description

Open a QGIS project with few layers. Add a map in a composer page to display some layers from the main QGIS interface. Add a scale bar to it. Then set the number of right segments to 3. Close the composer and save your project. Exit QGIS. Re-open your project and display the composer page you've just created. The number of right segments of the scale bar is now 2, not 3 as originally drawn! Also tested with 4 segments, on re-opening QGIS then the composer, the number of segments revert to 2.
Causes data corruption: the scale bar is messed up.

I've noticed it in QGIS 1.9.90-Alpha, revision cc15cdd, and can't remember if earlier versions had this bug.

The bug is confirmed also under Linux/qgis-master, but it does not causes any data corruption.

I get the behaviour where a double box scale bar with two segments does either one of the following when you reopen a project:

1) The segment size of the scale bar sets itself to zero
2) The segment size changes to something larger than it was originally set to.

Using Windows 1.9.90 revision 2b739d9

I believe this was fixed some days ago (there was another bug about composer scalebar reset to default values) and I cannot reproduce it anymore.
Therefore I'm closing this bug. Feel free to reopen if you think there is still a problem.
