Vertical positioning not working with viewport addon

Hello,

I was testing the latest beta version and noticed that vertical positioning doesn't work correctly when viewport addon is used. In my case, Sunn - Viewport. Below are the screenshots showing the problem:

No viewport addon - perfectly fine:

Forgot to mention, the clickable area remains in the same place with or without the viewport, so with viewport addon i have to click somewhere in between the mob and the nameplate to select that mob.

I'm also having this same identical issue using this addon and with sunn - viewport. I have always been using them together so the chance is with this addon as the viewport addon has received no recent changes.

worth mentioning I'm using threat plates and haven't tested all the other options

Try turning on "Compatibility Mode" via /tidyplates

Looks like this new method of attaching nameplates to improve FPS is not limited to TidyPlates, and is just not compatible with viewports.

This addon - http://www.wowinterface.com/downloads/info22478-rNamePlates2.html - has the same issue when using viewport.

As noted, use Compatibility Mode when using alternative viewports.
