When scaling regions in WED, they sometimes increase/decrease their width, height or length no matter in what direction you move the mouse cursor and even when youre using the "one dimension only" arrows.

You normally scale them with the box tool, but the scale tool works also - I've just tried it. Can you give a description how to get that problem, starting with an empty level?

Start WED, right click -> add region.
Use the "Scale" Tool (between "Rotate" and "Edit Box") and experience a very strange behaviour in almost any direction.

EDIT: Using the box tool, I cant even select the regions.
EDIT2: It also seems the regions are not even recognized by region_find, no matter how I compile the level?!
EDIT3: Even if I use region_create and it returns >0, neither region_find nor region_check can find any region...

Thanks, but your problems are not reproducible. You can find many script examples for using regions in the manual.

Let's concentrate first on your scale problem: Do you have this only with regions, or also with other objects? Are you using a tablet, or a normal mouse? Does it help when you delete the wed.cfg file, and/or reinstall the current A8 version?

I will try reinstalling A8, for this seems to be some serious issue...

If it helps: I'm starting to use regions extensively for trigger and clipping in 2 projects and so far, they work fine. No problem here.

Reinstalled, still regions are totally messed up.
And no, im not stupid - yes, I know how to debug.
Yes, this problem is only with regions. No, I am not using a tablet. Yes, I tried it with a new script. Yes, I know how to code. And yes, I also tried the examples from the manual.

Did a video with a fresh, clean installation of A8, downloaded directly from the official server. The keyfile is accepted by WED and I didnt change anything after installation.

while on the edit box mode, right click on a viewport, click bounding box properties, check "All Objects", click OK.

Looks like regions needs to be added to the edit box options

(also, that scale bug does not happening on me)

Many thanks to you - this works Although its a workaround and not a fix... and regions in general fail to work
EDIT: ...as long as theyre placed through WED. runtime-created regions work flawless, but every region placed in WED is nonexistant to the engine.
