I just purchased Pixelmator Pro for my 2018 15" MacBook Pro yesterday and noticed that the "View => Actual Size" setting is not correct. I held up a ruler to the screen and Pixelmator's rules are larger than the real ruler, the difference is significant. If this is a bug, can I request it be squashed quickly?

I'm not sure what else I can do to fix it, but this makes creating custom cards a pain because I have to get the zoom level just right to get an accurate depiction of the physical card. This issue is not present in Pages, which is what I was using before I purchased Pixelmator Pro. Thanks.

Hey! For the Pixelmator Pro Rulers to work the way they do in Pages, we'd have to be able to display a print preview of a document. At the moment, Pixelmator Pro doesn’t do that — it's optimized for digital image previewing only. Nevertheless, all the measurements made using the physical ruler units should reflect correctly in the final print.
