[solved] gexf Position+ Size of Nodes are changing on Import

[Ijon.Tichy]

I used gephi 0.8 beta and opened the enclosed gexf file 1.
When I export the file without doing anything the position and size values haved changed (see node a changes from size 100, xyz 200, 200,200 to size 4 xyz -15,-15,20) see second file 2.
Is there a reason for it or is that a bug.
[Solved] I just realised that there is a auto scale button when you open the file and that is responsible for the scaling effect. Maybe I leave this message for other users getting confused aswell.

What I also realise is that in the gephi overview the edges are slightly missaligned after import, especially when you zoom in. It seems as if they are starting from different positions and not from the center of the node. The Preview does it alright so it may be a simplification for quick overview.
