Since some weeks I have strange problems with MetaPost in MKIV (beta). The attached example should (and did in the past) output a central box ("Fakt") surrounded by five boxes named "Dimension". However some of them (in that particular example one) is drawn wrong: the box is on the right spot, but the label seems to be at 0,0. It seems to happen whenever the boxes are drawn from within a loop - at least all of my problems with boxes show similar symptoms and only occur within loops.
Any ideas what goes wrong here?
Probably a metapost bug, I'll check.
There were actually two metapost bugs from that single example. Next week's luatex beta will have a fix for both. Bug 1: show "45">"["; % 1.502 gives true, should be false Bug 2: pair a[]b; a1b = (50,50); pair a[]c; show known a1b; % 1.502 gives false, should be true Best wishes, Taco
