Rhythm dot not scaling

This works! So, is the reason for this behaviour that more than one dotted rhythmic element exists at the same rhythmic position?

Yes, I think this is what Daniel intended with “dot groups”: dots on notes in different pitches (voices?) at the same rhythmic position:

Dorico has sophisticated grouping code for dots so that you don’t end up with too many or too few in complex situations, but in more common situations like this you can end up with a single group, and Dorico has to choose one scale factor for the whole group. For safety purposes we have it choosing the largest scale factor for the group, rather than the smallest.

So in your case, with multiple dots, the bigger dot wins the “size-fight” And if you only have one dot at that rhythmic position there is no fight.
