Viewport bug

[spiel2001]

Tom --

I'm going to post several here as I confirm them along with the details I can get from the users. When you're sick of me posting them, let me know and I'll stop ~grin~

Simple code snippet to set a fair approximation the viewport being shown...

(pardon me if I do something stupid... not at my computer and doing this off the top of my head)

local height = UIParent:GetTop() - UIParent:GetBottom();
local width  = UIParent:GetRight() - UIParent:GetLeft();
local frame = CreateFrame( "Frame", "testFrame", UIParent );

frame:SetHeight( 512 * height / 768 );
frame:SetWidth( width );
frame:SetPoint( "BOTTOMLEFT", UIParent, "BOTTOMLEFT", 0, 0 );
frame:SetPoint( "BOTTOMRIGHT", UIParent, "BOTTOMRIGHT", 0, 0 );

WorldFrame:SetPoint( "BOTTOM", frame, "CENTER", 0, 0 );

Uther, Horde, Uldum, above Vir'naal Oasis. Happens anytime the lake there is in my field of view, regardless if I can see it or not. If I move the camera so it's facing somewhere other than that area, it's perfectly fine.

(note the black bar at the bottom of this screen shot -- that's the viewport. The bottom of the world frame is the top of the black bar, so there should be *no* 3D elements appearing below the top edge of that black bar -- however, you'll see several 3D elements well below the bottom of the world frame)

Here's another one but without a screen shot -- but it's at least semi-descriptive and matches up with the other examples I have.

Unfortunately, I removed your addon because it was making it impossible to play in Throne of TIdes. The whole instance had mis-aligned graphic layers. All ground effects and target circles were not visible as they were being rendered under the ground level. I died many times due to this alone. Also, in a few groups one character was half underground, where the character next to them (both part of my party) was positioned correctly, but their nametag and raid marker were being rendered in the middle of their body. Very Odd. I miss this addon greatly. I am a supporter and hope it gets fixed soon.

Another lacking the detail or screen shots I asked for, but does give location, etc.

I can reproduce this problem in Uldum. Currently I'm seeing it happen at 61.1, 30.0 while facing SW. It does appear to be directionally linked. If I change my direction (whether it's the camera or the character's direction) it changes. I've seen it happen on my Tyrael's Charger or Celestial Steed and it's the mount that it happens to, not my character. It seems that it's happening on the east end of Ramakhen as well, at 55.5, 34.3.

Here's another (wish they would provide screen shots as I asked /sigh)

PC: Home build Windows 7 Nvidia GTX 260 ( I think) Alliance Vir' Naal, Uldum 59.7- 34.3

Here's one with more detail and some screen shots...

Dell Vostro 220 w/EVGA GTX 460 Alliance Priest Dungeon: Throne of the Tides As you can see in the attached images, with viewport enabled, my weapon enchant displays below ground. When viewport is disabled, everything shows correctly. If I still has my shadow spec, I would show you how bad it really is. However, when in shadow spec, I could only see the top of my priest's head. On the elevator, it was like my shadow was standing on my shoulders while is was underground. Everyone else in the group also displayed above me. This happened throughout the dungeon. So, if you're looking for a zone for testing, Throne of the Tides is the one.

(first shot is with viewport disabled, second with it enabled -- note missing enchant emitters with the viewport turned on -- the shoulder emitter is just barely visible in the ground)
