[Core] [Critical] Single-pixel readouts incongruent with pixel geometry

[Juan Conejero]

I have detected a critical bug in version 1.6.0:

Single-pixel readouts change around 0.5 pixel coordinate boundaries. This is not congruent with the geometry of pixel coordinates in PixInsight.

You can verify this bug very easily. Open any image and apply a high magnification factor; for example 100:1, which is the maximum zoom ratio allowed. Place the cursor at the origin (top left corner) of a pixel, so that the coordinate readouts are xxx.0 and yyy.0. Look at the pixel readout. Now move the cursor toward the right and observe that the pixel readout changes as soon as you cross the coordinate xxx.5. This SHOULD NEVER happen!

This bug will be fixed in the next version. it has been caused by a wrong optimization in internal pixel readout routines. Sorry for the inconvenience.

What ? ? ? ? ?

You surely don't go looking for bugs in your OWN software

That behaviour is unacceptable

Just leave US to find them - after all that's what we pay you for
