No:

     I start TeXShop and set the preference to "Fit the window".

     I quit TeXShop.

     I start a TeXShop document and typeset it. The page comes with  
one pane with the scale at 124. (that's how I saved it before.)

     I shrink the window and the scale goes down to 102.

     I split the window and both panes are at 102.

     I click in the bottom pane and scale to 132. The bottom pane goes  
to 132, the top pane remains at 102. So far, so good.

     I click in the bottom pane (at 132) and un-split the window and  
the scale is 102.

     Etc

I don't see what the underlying logic is.

By the way, when the two panes are at different scales, the scale at  
the top is indifferent to which pane is active.
