Strange behavior (bar with hover buttons)

Found that it is a bug see this post.

I have a bar setup that has hidden buttons that are sized based on the width of the bar and it works perfectly with most widths but has a strange behavior with the 2 shortest bars.
I have created buttons that are only visible when you hover over the bar in width ranging from 15px (3 x 5px) to 81px (3 x 27px) in 3 px increments the bar has 20 buttons so the possible bar width should be able to be from 100px to 540px in 20px increments.
If I set the bar width anywhere between 140 and 540px it works as expected, but if I set it to 100 or 120 the buttons are always visible and the positioning is incorrect.
In the pics below (100px and 140px) I am hovering just left of the center which should be over the "Back :10" button. In the 140px version it is correct but in the 100/120px versions it shows "back 25min" I mention this to show the position error. In the 100/120 version pic the only button that should be visible is the one that I am hovering over and should show up as 5px above and below the bar as it appears in the 140px bar.

I figure it can NOT be the code I am using because only certain widths are effected but I will post a snippet of it anyway.

The Code

Code: Select all

;vars read from a .inc file
PosBarW=100
PosBarH=10

;skin code
[MeasureVars]
Measure=Plugin
Plugin=Plugins\WebParser.dll
Url=file://D:\Documents\Rainmeter\Skins\RiverFront\Resources\Variables\UserVariables.inc
RegExp="(?siU)PosBarW=(.*)\n.*PosBarH=(.*)\n"

[MeasurePosBarW]
Measure=Plugin
Plugin=Plugins\Webparser.dll
Url=[MeasureVars]
StringIndex=1

[MeasurePosBarH]
Measure=Plugin
Plugin=Plugins\Webparser.dll
Url=[MeasureVars]
StringIndex=2

[Calc4ButW]
Measure=Calc
Formula=MeasurePosBarW/20

[Calc4ButH]
Measure=Calc
Formula=MeasurePosBarH+10

I have restarted both Rainmeter and the computer and it makes no difference.

PS: I have a vertical bar that has buttons as thin as 1px that works perfectly so I don't see how it could be a minimum px issue, the only difference is the vert buttons are thin in height and the above referenced buttons are thin in width.
