Joel, not sure if anyone reported this.
I spotted another thing that occurs with DPI scaling.
The TunisiaII module has the MapWindow Property - “Mouse_over Stack Viewer” with option “Display Text” active and a Summary text above the piece.
When the scaling is not 100% the text is displayed in an incorrect location. I suspect that scaling is not applied because the farther south and east I go on the map the farther away to the north west the text is displayed.
Is there still time to add new features to the 3.3.0 release ?
Is there a plan to make an 3.3.1 ou 3.4 or you will stop here and work on 4.0 (i make to work the current source code and want to konw if there is a point to continu).
Is there still time to add new features to the 3.3.0 release ?
I am reluctant to add new features to the current codebase, as new
features require testing, documentation, and ongoing support. Any
new feature at this point would have to be quite compelling for me
to consider its addition.

My plan has long been and continues to be to shift to V4 when the
current release is out. There might be further 3.3.x releases to fix
bugs introduced in 3.3.0, but I don’t forsee doing more V3 series
releases otherwise.
If you would like to help, why not troubleshoot one of the bugs noted
on this thread? That’s the help we need right now.
As this java version is obsolete and dead, i will not spend more time on
it.
But it is not obsolete and dead. I’m working on 3.3.0 right now.
There are things with which I could use help, if you’d like to help, such
as finding the causes of the bugs reported on this thread. It may not be
the work you were wanting to do, but it’s the work which needs doing if
we’re going to move forward.
Hello Joel, I tested the proposed repaint fix at both 125% and 175%. I could not reproduce the issue, only once did I see a white line for less that 1 second and that went away by some repaint action.
Issues still occurring:
Location indicator (I see you have a solution)
Absence of Movement Trails (in both Tunisia II and The Longest Day)
I found another HDPI Scaling issue. Maybe you are already aware of it:
In Vietnam 1965/1975 version 4.3.4 (vassalengine.org/mediawiki/i … 4.3.4.vmod)
You have a button that overlays s string of 1hex area of effects to mark a boundary. (You make them appear with the 2 buttons (red/blue squares) to the right of the 1D6 and 2D6 buttons.
At 100% these overlay appears in the correct manner. At 125% it appears somewhere else (at the 100% position I think).
I have an unpublished The Longest Day module that uses a similar technique. There too the issue appears.
The Vietnam module has 2 different uses of the Area of Effect trait. One is to highlight the hexes around some counters. That one works correctly at any scaling.
The differences I see is that while both are “Fixed Radius”, the one that fails has a radius of 0 (area only applies on origin hex).
econ
The other difference is that the one is set as “Always visible” (it is hidden when button pressed by a change in the Map Shading settings probably) whereas the one that works has “Always visible” unchecked.
Hope that helps.
I ran the latest 3.3.0-svn9343 on my iMac 5K (Retina), screen set to Scaled resolution. The module shows correctly
Then I dragged this window over to my external FullHD (non-Retina) monitor. This image is at the same zoom level as the first image:
As you can see the board is clipped at the bottom, the first time I zoomed out from 100% to 44% to view the entire board the clipped part was black until I resized the panel to repaint it.
Not only is the image drawn at the wrong size, the position calculations are also all off. I can not click on anything as it’s not where it’s being drawn.

Selection rectangle drawn is completely wrong. In this image I am dragging from the small cross (left top) to about where the big cross is (right bottom). The selection when I let go is correct, despite the rectangle visual.
