The X, Y offsets in an Highlighter with “Use Image” checked don’t seem to work. Whatever the input the image remains centered on the piece.

Using 3.2.17

Just bumping this up, in the hope some developer will take a look now that Vassal 3 development is in full swing again. Bug confirmed again with both 3.4.13 and 3.5.4.

In a few minutes, there will be a build here with “bug14331” in its name which has the fix:

[vassalengine.org/builds/](http://www.vassalengine.org/builds/)

I checked back all the way to 2006 and found no evidence that highlighter offsets have ever worked.
