from psychopy import visual, core

win = visual.Window(viewScale = [1,-1])
shape = visual.ShapeStim(win)
text = visual.TextStim(win)

shape.draw()
text.draw()

win.flip()
core.wait(2)
win.close()

What is the expected output?
Upside down text and a triangle pointing downwards.

What do you see instead?
The triangle appears as expected while the text appears as if the viewScale was [1,1].
The problem appears to be for any viewScale setting. For example, it also fails to scale if viewScale = [.1,1] or viewScale = [1,.1]

What version of the product are you using?
Psychopy 1.70.01 on Python 2.7

On what operating system?
Win 7
