R99 - Sprite X and Y with scaling box.

I'm doing some tests with the scaling features.

So, you can notice a weird issue with the position detecting when scaling the game.

How to reproduce

Prepare the .capx

• Start a new project;
• Make a empty sprite object;
• Make one boolean instance;
• Import the mouse input;
• Write the follow conditionals:

-- When mouse.Y is up the sprite.Y -> Boolean is "true";

-- When mouse.Y is down the sprite.Y -> Boolean is "false"

• Make a text on the canvas to show the Boolean and update it every tick (for example, "Boolean: " & sprite.boolean_instance_here);
• Preview, check, your code is showing true and false right;

Reproduce the bug:

• Configure the canvas to scale for any size;
• Check the instance, it only detect the old sprite position instead of detecting the real sprite.Y on your screen;

It broken my source code, because I can't check complex events when using touch and mouse, checking their position in relation of a sprite, for example.

And the same, but scaled: dl.dropbox.com/u/47035927/temp/BUG/index.html

Also, I would like know if anything else is necessary to improve my reports? It's going well or bad?

Thanks.

Can you always remember to attach a minimal .capx reproducing the problem, as described in how to report bugs? There are loads of bug reports for me to look at, and it takes much longer if I have to spend a few minutes trying to follow your description accurately.

In this case I followed your steps and could not reproduce any problem:

Seems to be working fine. This is another reason to include your .capx, because it is likely you are doing something different to what I set up just now.

My bad Ashley, it was a misundestand about the mouse.absoluteY and mouse.Y .

Thanks!
