Scale on imported STL only works in all direction

When I import someones STL, I can scale it, but only in all directions.
Openscad will discard the Y and Z scale parameter and scale the object to the X factor.

Is that normal ?

I don't have any problems scaling x, y and z with different factors, e.g.:

BathroomSignScaled_1_2_10.png

scale([1,2, 10])
	import("Bathroom_Sign.stl", convexity=10);

What version of OpenSCAD are you using?

The latest released version is 2014.03, any others are development snapshots.
I suggest you use 2014.03 (until they release a newer version).

How about posting the OpenSCAD source code (w/STL) that doesn't work right for you.
