AS3 - NativeMenu affecting Button components

Question

In my AIR application, I use Flash's Button component for most of my simple buttons. But for some reason, when I give the window a NativeMenu, the buttons look a bit different. Specifically, the text appears to be smaller.

As you can see the button looks different. In fact, now that I look at it again, the TextArea seems a bit smaller too.

If anyone knows why this is happening and how to prevent it that would be great.

The problem is that the NativeMenu is scaling down the stage, resulting in the smaller, blurry components. This can be avoided by changing the stage's scaleMode property:

stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.NO_SCALE;
