Something strange about x, y positioning for certain screens

[pikurasa]

I've run into this a few times.

Today, I ran into it with a classroom smart board. x and y were offset enough to cause issues for any projects that used "set x/y".

I've also seen something similar on laptops, which becomes evident for our projects that set the height based on pitch.

In terms of reproducibility, if you use dev tools, and short code that prints Cartesian and sets x/y to zero, you can get results like this:

Did you try refreshing your screen after switching over to the smart board? I can only reproduce the error if I change the size of my browser window and run the code w/o a refresh in between. If I refresh, the grid is properly configured.

I did not think to refresh...

Hi!
I have looked into reproducing this issue and confirm that this is indeed present. I do not have a smart-board. I tested it with resizing the window a bit.

For convenience I am attaching a video file to this comment explaining my observations. As it may assist other "first time contributors" like myself while testing this and other issues on this repo.

I understand that this issue is old but indeed quite important for user-experience.

The first video is on the bug mentioned in this issue

I'd now study this repo to figure out exactly where the bug is and provide updates on what I find and work on accordingly.

Hmm. Maybe we should refresh the grid on resize? Or at least when Play is hit?
