Thin module display glitch

Post by terrymcg »

Hi Folks...

While working on a 2HP wide module, I've noticed that both VMD and VM seem to at think 2HP is more like 2.5HP:

The stuff just to the right of the "Seq" module is leakage (yellow line etc). It looks fine in the GUI design pane, so it seems like display glitch.

Since I'm talking thin, having a "two screw" option would be nice too. :)

Cheers,

FWIW, The 'overhanging' graphic bits actually vibrate, so are being re-painted at a rapid pace (not that you can see that here):

That makes me worry that it's more than just a display annoyance (and might be wasting cycles). The actual bits painted into the overhang areas varies depending on what's nearby and/or has moved around a thin module.

This is still an issue in 2.2.3.

My WAG is that somewhere the code is using the clipping rectangle (or similar) for a 3HP object vs the correct 2HP one:

As you can see, between winter weather and being locked down, I've gotten a bit manic with creating these things ;)
