The outline filter had unwanted clamping behavior. This has been eliminated by a refactor, which also speeds up processing of large outlines.

This issue has been resolved.
Descriptive Problem Summary: As first indicated in this topic, the outline filter clips itself on the left side.

Numbered Steps to Reproduce Problem:
  1. Open a DM environment
  2. Set an outline filter for an atom (thicker outline preferred)
  3. Observe the left side of the filter


Expected Results: For the filter to appear consistent around atoms and maptext.

Actual Results: Outline filters are clipped on the left side.

Does the problem occur:
Every time? Or how often? Every time.
In other games? All projects.

When does the problem NOT occur? N/A

Workarounds: A space can be added at the beginning of maptext to make the text appear correctly. This is not viable should the atom's appearance include more than text though.

I'm going to be updating the outline filter, which ought to help. If you can distill this down to a test case that'd be a huge help, since then I can see the problem in action and figure out if my changes make the difference.
