Drawing in the wrong spot when zoomed

I know I've seen mention of this before, but I couldn't find the thread, so I thought maybe it was just a comment in another spot. At any rate; When you use the drawing tool to draw something, it will appear in the wrong place to any other users who are at a different zoom level than you are (similar to the ping bug) I tested this out with by having two windows open, changing my zoom level, and drawing something on the map. The further you're zoomed out, the further it's transposed. In my screenshot, both of the circles were made in the window on your right. First I zoomed out to 60% and circled Fallcrest. Then I zoomed in to 80% and repeated the process.
Yeah, this is definitely on our list of things to fix, it's going to require quite a bit of work though which is why it's waiting until the "overhaul the drawing system" stuff happens. Sorry for the inconvenience, I know it's a pain.
I actually figured out a way to fix this that wasn't too arduous, so it's fixed in the next update. The drawing tools are definitely still getting an overhaul in the near future, but hopefully this at least makes them a bit more usable in the short-term.
Woot! You rock. I know that they're not the be-all end all, but they'll definitely get the job done in the meantime.
