Graph: Fixed Scale Factor menu improvements

Scale factor will be set to 1 without need to open dialog

By default many graph types are set so text, line, etc. graph element scales with layer frame. When a layer is shrunk, the text or line resizes. That’s why when you select text in graph, on status bar, it shows two Size (actual) = 22 (10.1)
