Hi Ambrose, thanks for your report.

There is a button (4th from the right in the second toolbar) hinting "When scaling objects, scale the stroke width by the same proportion". It is marked by default.

However, if you use "Print as bitmap" it might be an artefact depending on your resolution. Another explanation is, that you scaled the one line to, say 0.67. 0.67 is the rounded figure that inkscape shows, but internally it calculated 0.6709. If you set the width of the other line of 0.67, you have 0.67000. Perhaps this is the difference you perceive, at least in a magnification? I hope I could help you, Wolfi
