Changing MLeaderStyle - annotation scale.

Hello Forum,

I have code that changes the MLeaderStyle property of a MLeader object.

When I run the code, the current annotation scale is added to the MLeader and set as current. I don't want this to happen, but this happens automatically.

Any idea what could cause this?

Code:

MLeader objMLeader;
DBDictionary dbdMLStyles;
string strMLeaderStyleNew;
...
objMLeader.UpgradeOpen();
objMLeader.MLeaderStyle = (ObjectId)dbdMLStyles[strMLeaderStyleNew];
objMLeader.DowngradeOpen();

Thank you.
