Subject: [XRender] Why does scale on x-axis blur on y-axis too?

Hello,

1. When setting a scale only on the x-axis of a 1x10 RGB24 picture,
and using a bilinear filter on the source picture, the result is also
blurred on the y-axis.
When using nearest everything works as expected.

When I use RepeatPad instead of RepeatNone the problem is gone, then I
still have the problem mentioned below.
Any idea why RepeatPad helps in this case?

2. The image is still filtered with the non-existing pixels arround
the image on the x-axis which are rendered black:

So it more or less filters with pixels which don't belong to the image
itself.  Is it possible to tell XRender to filter only with pixels
that belong to the picture?
I copied the code to: http://pastebin.com/m3b2db21e

Thank you in advance and sorry for nerving with those basic questions,
lg Clemens
