I'm observing the same issue with seams, which may be a browser display problem; position appears to be correct. Hopefully it's something we can figure out.

I'm not seeing the clipping issues you have, though. Do you have a test project that shows this that I can look at?

https://www.dropbox.com/s/14ml3235tjhk50z/Varimus.zip?dl=0 Here's my test project. If source code is needed, I can package that too.

Source would be helpful, yeah. Looking at it on its own, I can't understand why there's a discrepancy with my own test project.

I'd like to note that when I added zoom=1 to the .dms I wrote myself when experimenting with .dms skins (previously I was using the .dmf for all skins) the clipping issues disappeared, giving me this result:



<body>
    <div id=map1 skinparams="zoom=1"></div>
</body>


I don't understand why this is the case, however.

EDIT: It appears workarounds can be created for this by redefining the skin in a .dms and using CSS. However, translated skins may possibly still retain the problem.
