RMX Scaler Doesn't Preview Properly

Glyphs
#1

3.2 (3192)
Big Sur 11.6.1 (20G224)

Adjusting height and vertical shift doesn’t correctly update the preview.

#2

Known bug. I’ve already reported it to Tim, and you should do the same.

#3

@TimAhrens Please see the above.

#4

Also the tuner doesn’t update preview anymore.

Does it work with the current stable version of Glyphs, i.e. 3.1? Reporting plug-in bugs on the basis of Glyphs beta versions is not a good idea.

This video is rather quick. Can you explain more specifically what the problem is?

The video above is from the RMX Scaler (not the Tuner), isn’t it?

Yes. The problem arises since one of the more recent 3.2 versions and is only related to vertical transformations. As soon as a horizontal transformation is triggered, the preview is updated correctly. I opened another thread here recently: 3187: Scaling with RMX results in buggy outline display

Thanks for your information, everyone.

So, for now, I will consider the recent bug reports (also from others) related to the RMX preview function to be bugs in Glyphs 3.2. I will also release an RMX update in the next few days that includes some smaller fixes. Let me know if you encounter any problems that don’t seem to be bugs in Glyphs.

Since you’re here asking about bugs, there is something that has been an issue for as long as I can remember:

Especially with unencoded glyphs, the RMX Scaler always loves to generate them from some source glyph. This is often Eth, for whatever reason, but also Aacute and some I diacritic is proposed.

I have to manually uncheck the Generate from source box to scale. The next time I open the scaler on the glyph again, the same thing happens.
