This is a known problem with the physics model. I'm trying to minimize
its effect, but I'll never be able to make it completely disappear. The
solution is to use a lower value for the step parameter (in the
global_settings section) and eventually compensate with more steps.
Unfortunately, this problem seems to occur more in the windows version.

Sure I do :) I'll post it on friday.

Because of I still think more easily with the "standard" orientation whe
n
I need to do mathematics. Since I first started this program as part of
a project for the irtc, I wanted to do it fast and not loose time trying
to switch back and forth between the two systems. And then it was done
and I haven't gotten around to changing it (or at least make it
user-selectable)
