GUI glitches with fractional zoom-factors

Developer VSTGUI
1

reproducible in:

VST SDK 3.7 with VSTGUI 4.9:
VST SDK 3.6.9 with VSTGUI 4.6:

setZoomFactor:

When a fractional factor like 1.5 or 1.75 is used wrong pixels can appear around the borders of a CAnimKnob

I am not the only one who experienced this. This hack of the VSTGUI did fix it for me

and already fixed on the develop branch of vstgui:

Thank you Arne. I assumed that the VST SDK 3.7 (August 2020) would have already included the fixes from the older VSTGUI 4.9 (December 2019).

Editing crect.h in your way did fix the problem.

inline CRect& CRect::makeIntegral ()
{
left = std::floor (left);
right = std::ceil (right);
top = std::floor (top);
bottom = std::ceil (bottom);
return *this;
}
