Hello,
I've encountered a somewhat weird bug, that only started happening with the Version 7 beta:
When using the scale Modifier on a Hotspot, the Hotspot will always jump to the middle of the screen, while the pano is not moved/standing still:

While the pano is being moved, the hotspot is in the correct position:

After removing the scale modifier, the hotspot functions normally and no longer jumps to the middle of the screen

I'm using the following modifier in the skin for the hotspot:

Code: Select all

  <modifier>
    <type>scale</type>
    <source>invtanfov</source>
    <offset>0</offset>
    <factor>0.6</factor>
  </modifier>
</modifiers>

Hi,

Are you applying the modifier to the actual hotspot element or the object in the hotspot?

In V7 you need to apply the modifier to the object not the hotspot.
