This is a crosspost from the General Discussion section. The patching background grid does not line up with the actual boxes when patching, making it tricky and confusing to patch both in the console and in the Director. It gets more noticeable the further out you go.
Edit: I discovered this is only an issue in the Avantis Director software. I think the Director needs an overhaul, it’s clunky, sometimes confusing to use, and has some weird bugs.
While I don’t still have an Avantis, I don’t recall seeing this when I used the Avantis Director.
That being said, I do remember that the Director software is very sensitive to screen resolutions and it doesn’t scale very well. This means that only a few resolutions seems to “work normally” and all the other resolutions have various GUI issues. This scaling issue is absolutely something that A&H could improve on.
Have you tried other resolutions to see if you problem goes away? It’s quite possible that your issue is related to the screen resolution you are using and might not be present at certain resolutions.
And needs to be usable with dual monitors
My observation is that the display needs to be at 100% scaling BEFORE launching director. I’ve been able to then move it to my 2nd monitor and restore the laptop scaling with no impact to Director while running.
Indeed this alignment problem is exactly as bdrake stated. I have the same issue on a laptop which specs out better than those required by A&H and have my screen at the recommended resolution. I have voted for this in the upper left hand corner of the post. (Adding “+1” to a post has no effect anymore.) If you wish for it to trickle to the top of the list, please add your vote.
