drawArc Wrong After Calling ActivityMonitor

Hello all together,

this is my first post :D

I have a stragne behavior with drawArc.
It is very simple: In the function onUpdate() i would like to draw a arc.
But this is only possible above the call to get infos from ActivityMonitor???
Especially to set the "degreeStart". 270 dergee must be on position 6 o´clock.
All given degreeStart numbers are always somewhere between 7 and 9 o`clock.
(for sure on top of my code is "using Toybox.ActivityMonitor as ActMonitor;" defined)

Wrong working code:

var actsteps;

var stepGoal;		

	   

stepGoal = ActMonitor.getInfo().stepGoal;  

actsteps = ActMonitor.getInfo().steps;



dc.drawArc(width / 2, height / 2, 70, 0, 270, 90);

works fine! Here is 270 deree at the 6 o`clock position.

var actsteps;

var stepGoal;



dc.drawArc(width / 2, height / 2, 70, 0, 270, 90);		

	   

stepGoal = ActMonitor.getInfo().stepGoal;  

actsteps = ActMonitor.getInfo().steps;

This code is also reproducible in the "Analog" sample.

Is this a bug or a feature?

Hello,

I ran into this issue today. I'm on 2.2.3. Is there any date for the fix?

Some have worked around the problem by making this call (or similar) before drawing the arcs you actually want to display, but after the ActivityMonitor.getInfo() call...

dc.drawArc(-1, -1, 0, Gfx.ARC_CLOCKWISE, 1, 2)

Thanks go to Petr.Koula for the workaround.

As Brian said in a previous post, this is related to a compiler issue in msvc 9.0, which we use to build the Windows version of the CIQ simulator. We have a fix in place (we'll be building future releases with a newer compiler version), but I don't yet have a specific date when that will go into effect. I anticipate sometime around mid-year at the latest.
