I think the "highly scaled in one direction" does not cause the problem, 
but merely makes it more visible.

Agreed.

  This one is marked as fixed in the project jobs list and I personally
didn't really see the mentioned symptoms of the bug when I tried it.
  I can double-check.

One possible solution to the first (and possibly only) bug mentioned in this
is that the render window load state has a mode of normal rather than hidden
or minimized.  I am pretty sure this isn't Windows.  Could someone without
an NT based OS reconfirm this by opening POVray, clicking Options->Other
Settings->Re-render Insert Menu Bitmaps, positioning the mouse over the
minimize button, then pressing Enter for "OK" and clicking the minimize
button in close sequence.  Thank You.

Are you taking over the logging of know bugs?

I'd be very happy for you to do so. I never wanted to the job in the
first place.

If you're not taking over the known bugs list, then please don't post
things that look like known bugs lists. It's a real pain to correlate
the info in this thread with the info in my list.

Indeed, the POV-Team has been asking TAG members to take over this job because
they can provide direct feedback to the POV-Team in other (private) groups on
this server.  Warp volunteered to do the major work, but I am sure other TAG
members will support him.

Thank you very much for your help!

  Let's wait for beta12 to see if the bug is still there. I'll then update
the list accordingly.
