Odd positioning 'bug'

I have come across an oddity in the way KISSlicer positions objects. I was trying to position three cubes to allow me to calibrate the XY offsets of my dual extruder printer (CUBEX DUO).

If I put in one cube, it is centered correctly.

If I add a second cube, the two are aligned in a vertical line

If I add a third cube, it is added to one side of the previous two, but not in line with either of the other two.

If I add a fourth cube, it gets pushed off further to the side, presumably because of the position of the third cube. Normally one would expect a nice 2x2 array.

It is not a big problem, but it does not seem like the way the positioning was meant to behave.

Attached some screenshots, in the wrong order I think but you get the idea...

I did find a bug in the packer (a while ago, in April), so the packer is better now. Not good, but not quite as stupid. [8^)

Try the version 1.5 release and let me know if it's any better?

thanks,
Jonathan

I tried it with the 1.5 release version, and it behaved more sensibly. Thanks Jonathan!

Now, so long as the release version is compatible with CubeItMod.... ;)
