Hi,  
I’m trying to switch to Penpot from Figma, and one of my biggest issues is the buggy text resizing:

Hey @carolina.portugal , I just wanted to report this error for our team as well. It looks like the recording that aronkvh shared is no longer available, but this is what the bug looks like on our end:

We are experiencing the problem in both Chrome and Firefox. Thank you!
