ScreenOverlay resizing upon networklink refresh.

[Paully]

I've got a network link here http://bbs.keyhole.com/ubb/showflat.php/Cat/0/Number/852603/an/0/page/0#852603
that includes a couple of screen overlays as legends. With the latest
GoogleEarth client (4.1.7076.4458) when the lightning link refreshes,
its legend resizes itself to an unreadable blob of garbage. Anyone
have any ideas? The very similar ScreenOverlay legend in the SST link
does not have this problem. The code snippet that draws the overlay
is below.

<ScreenOverlay>
<name>Lightning Legend</name>
<Icon>
<href>http://www.paulseabury.com/light_legend.png</href>
</Icon>
<overlayXY x="0" y="1" xunits="fraction" yunits="fraction" />
<screenXY x="0.05" y="0.1325" xunits="fraction"
yunits="fraction" />
<size x="0" y="0" xunits="fraction" yunits="fraction" />
</ScreenOverlay>

Regards,

Paul

You can see how the legend is supposed to look at http://www.paulseabury.com/lightning.jpg
and how it looks after a refresh at http://www.paulseabury.com/legend_problem.jpg

Hi Paul,

This is a bug. We're working on it.

Any timetable on when this may be fixed? Next release?...or is it not
currently being worked on.

I'm also getting distorted screen overlays on refreshing a network
link. This is a pretty major bug as my app relies on a cross hair
overlay for people to geotagg their Flickr photos. Any time frame for
a fix? It's been over a month now with new beta versions released and
the problem is still apparent.

Hi Zeman,

Unfortunately, Google does not comment on when future releases are
coming, or what features will be supported. Bottom line, until its
fixed we can't tell you when.

Thank you for asking this question! I've been rattling my brains for
the last 3 hours looking for a solution to the exact same problem, but
haven't been able to find one. Good thing I now know its a bug!

Has anyone come up with a workaround or a reason why some overlays
work and some don't? My PNG doesn't. Do JPEGs? Or including some
magically KML?

Thanks,
