Y coordinate on floats not working on Windows

Reported by Eric Allen | October 27th, 2009 @ 11:39 AM | in Limelight 0.5

On Mac OS X, I can set the y coordinate of a floating prop and it will put itself that far from the top. On Windows, the exact same prop in the same production stays at the top of the stage.

This is very odd. I ran your production on Widows XP and it worked as expected. Unfortunately I don't have a version of Vista to try out.

In theory, the OS should have no affect on the floating position of that prop. All the graphics and coordinates are handled by the Java layer of Limelight.

I'm curious.. Have you tried the examples in the Limelight Docs production on Vista?

In Jruby 1.4.0, the new yaml library adds the method y to Kernel. This caused the styles builder to call Kernel.y (printing out --- 50 to the console) instead of setting the y style.

A patch to the styles builder has been made to fix this issue. More thought will have to go into how we can more generally solve this problem.

A new gem has been push out with the fix: version 0.5.2
