Default Troop Placements symbols have been wacky since 2.11?

Has anyone else seen this since 2.11? Sometimes very small squads will appear as huge squares in the Troop Placement green-box-thingy, and sometimes very large ones will be so small they are difficult to spot. I thought I was seeing things but this comes up often. Playing on Windows, if that makes a difference.

Yep, that's what I noticed as well.
The size of the squad square on the Army Orders screen sometimes does not conform to the real size.

Win98SE, DOm2 v2.11

Yeah, I've seen it too. Very odd.

I've a workaround for you:

select the complete missized squad and click again on you commander. Now the squad size is correct.

I hadnt noticed it. Is it maybe an effort to show the squads with some recognition for their size (hoburgs, giants, etc) as a couple Users requested?

I believe it is a bonus bug that appeared when the army setup screen got a performance boost (it steals less cpu power now). I'll take a look at it.

It doesnt happen all the time. I havent figured out under what conditions it does happen, however.
