See those 2 screenshots below..
The 1st one is on a browser on PC (any browser)
The 2nd one is on a browser on Android Smartphone (any browser)
On PC is in the correct position (I aligned almost perfectly) but on Smartphone it is shown in a wrong position.. totally disaligned

Thanks for the report, will add this to the list to be looked at

dear @Alex-developer
I did update this morning to latest build (git pull) and I see that on Android is now aligned with the overlay on PC..
But this fix apparently caused a misalignment.. as I now have both completelly off (before on PC it was perfecly aligned)
Is that normal?

[spanzetta]

after today update (git pull) I see again the overlay position completelly off..
Did you change something related to it/is it normal that now I have to realign it again?
Just asking

[Alex-developer]

It's not been changed, but some other change could have affected it. I will add it to the list to look at

[spanzetta]

well.. I am really becoming crazy about that...
It seems that overlay positioning (mainly the 2 offset values) it depends on the desktop resolution..
Is it possible to be like that?
Or again this morning with latest git pull.. it did change again...

@spanzetta,
I assume you are viewing the page on two devices with different resolutions, and the constellation overlay is in a different position on them? If so, are they a lot different?

[spanzetta]

right.. I have more then one PC with different desktop resolution (plus Android mobile phones)

I can confirm (I did many tests) that the overlay is "moved" when the desktop resolution is different..

In my current PC setup (2 monitors - one @2880x1800/16:10 and one @3840x2160/16:9) when I move the window from one screen to the other and hit refresh to reload the page (using Edge) I see the overlay moved both horizontally and vertically..
I am not sure that it was like that in the past .. before the latest big code changes..

That's quite bad...

and when I adjusted it on monitor @2880x1800/16:10 then is wrong on the other PC with monitor @1024x768..

In other words.. when you adjust overlay it is ok only for THAT desktop resolution..

@spanzetta,
The constellation overlay has always given us a lot of grief, and we've never had the time to fix it, and we have a lot of other things on our "to do" list.

If you want to take a stab, feel free.
