Scan probe diameter changes after hitting analyze button

I seem to have this "bug" hit quite often now.

E.g I have 5 probes in the standard cross configuration, I hit analyse, check results I then use the SHIFT keys to resize all the probes at the same time clicking on the edge of a single probe and moving it inwards to resize it and the other probes.

Use the ALT key to help move all the probes closer to the target.

Now every so often I do this, it all looks ok on the screen, probe diameters have changed etc, but as soon as I hit the analyse button all the probes except the one I used to resize the group snap back to their previous diameter.

Anyone else experienced this? Any work arounds?

Try selecting all the probes in your System Scanner interface (click + shift-click) then changing the probe radius from the right-click menu.

It works fine using the side box, but when speed is of the essence, i.e. probing out that dastardly Cruiser, the main screen is faster.

Will continue to play around and see if I can find a method of replicating the issue every time.

Ah, the probe snap back bug.

The work around is to drag the probe bubble size to a bit smaller than the size you want, then release the mouse button. All the bubbles will then pop up to the size you want and stay there when you hit analyze.

The probe snap back bug only occurs when you drag the bubble to a size just above your desired size. It looks like it goes to the size you want, but for some reason rounds up as soon as you hit analyze.

Thanks, I'll give it a shot this evening.
