Map Warping

I know that this has been brought up in the past but i'm still wondering when the fix for the map's habit of warping will be fixed. It seems to stretch the map downwards when you zoom out at about or above 80%. while this is merely an annoyance, it still makes the program seem sloppy... I would rather not have to wonder weather or not my map is functioning properly every time I zoom out... Thank you for acknowledging me!

Could you post a screen shot? I haven't seen this behavior. Is the map of unusually large size? Are you using an unusual browser (i.e. anything other than Firefox/Chrome)?

I think he is talking about when you zoom out, the browser adds what appears to be extra space on the bottom of the map area which is a render bug that the devs have known about but not been able to fix it. If it is something else then a screenshot would certainly help understand the issue.
Pat S. is correct, but ill post a screenshot anyway just so others can see. Now this is a mild example of what i am talking about that happens to warp the grid downwards, but i have also seen it stretch the right side of the screen as well. If this isnt enough info then search up "Roll20 map stretching" in the forums and see what you find. The picture on the left is the correct (default) width. The right image shows another line of grid on the bottom (which shouldn't be there). Like i said this is a mild example, but ive had images that put as many as 3-4 more lines of grid which messed up my measurements for a minute... If it helps at all, ive noticed that if you scroll up and down the page it may recreate this effect and if you play with the zoom level you may be able to recreate this effect as well. I hope this helps.
Warping is a bad term for it, jumping up / snapping to the top would make more sense.
This happens almost every time for me. I put borders on my maps from now on as I've had baddies move into limbo land where my players couldn't see.
You simply cannot zoom all the way out in Roll20, it's always done that.

I've either not noticed it, or gotten so used to it I no longer "see" it. Borders sounds like the best workaround, and handy for dragging off dead guys or writing secret GM notes.
