Yes. This can happen if you have the “1:1 Aspect Ratio” checkbox selected in the IControl prefs editor–it interferes with Visual Prefs. Note that one of the earlier beta releases of CyberGraphX had this problem, so make sure you’re using the latest CyberGraphX beta release. A particular option in Birdie may also be causing this. [Remco Komduur] You need to switch off the 1:1 aspect ratio option, save your new IControl preferences, and reboot. Just selecting “Use” is not enough to make VisualPrefs work again. Note that when using VisualPrefs, IPrefs’ 1:1 aspect ratio feature is not needed anyway, so turning it off shouldn’t be a problem for anyone.
