%%%--- Operating System, Graphics card ---
Windows 7 64, HD 5770

- Blender version with error, and version that worked ---

Error: all versions

- Short description of error ---

I am not sure if this can called a bug.
But it causes a limitation of operations for the Array-Modifier.

Currently, objects with Copy Loc/Rot/Scale-Constraints dont display their changes in the
(hotkey-)N Window if the target object gets transformed. For myself, i thought this should be the big advantage
of the Constraints in comparison to the parent-system, to add the transformdata instead of "faking" it. But forget that.

If i asume correct, the Fit-Curve option of the array-modifier seems to rely on that settings (scale) to
decide how many parts it has to produce. That means constraint-transformation cant affect this feature.
Not sure how it really works, but unfortunately it refuses to do an expected functionality.

Please take a look at my file to test it in an example.

- Steps for others to reproduce the error (preferably based on attached .blend file) ---

I have attached a file.

its how to adjust arrays via curvelength with an extra control-object.%%%
