Now you've lost me. >From what I understand PR20755 was about G editing resetting the scale factor in certain cases (to 0 in the example) and not restoring it afterwards (to 1 in this case). This is a bug both in legacy and in Fortran standard modes. The bug was fixed and a testcase was created. The result is standard-compliant. Why would you want to remove the testcase? The point of having a testcase is to prevent a reappearing of the same bug in the future, so maybe we should keep it.
