Keep in mind that behind most not included features there are serious
technical or design problems. I am not saying anything about this
particular feature, but in general, you should not expect to find all "lost"
features in a future MegaPOV that is based on 3.5 - it might well be that
POV-Ray 3.5 breaks more than a few patches that are currently part of
MegaPOV 0.7...

I thought about it this way. I found explanation for my problem and now I can
work with workarounds. Don't spent your time with such details. Go! Go to other
bugs :-) POV 3.5 is my favourite tool.

AFAIK this has been fixed (for next beta).

And this is being taken care of (but not necessarily fixed for the next

Is this a bug or a documentation error? Is there a case where we might
want to write "#local A=array;" and have it behave like this?
I'm not collecting documentation errors.

I guess this turned out to be a bad move. I'll continue to capture
unconfirmed bug information, but I don't think I'll post it again.
Several people asked for unconfirmed bugs to be added to the list. I've
added the details to my database, but they won't appear in the known
bugs posts until they are confirmed.

It's confirmed. I even know what causes it, but I haven't had time to fix it
yet. I did take the minute or so it took to enter it in the Team's bug
database, though.

It should be fixed in the next beta (along with the related problem of being
able to specify a zero or negative dimension_size for one or more dimensions.)
