Pointer Widget not rendering well the first time

[ivnaru]

When I create a pointer widget for the first time, it is rendered as in the picture (the first widget), then I create another one and everything is ok... Does anybody has the same problem?
I have just downloaded freeboard so I haven't done any change to it.

I'm receiving this error when I do it with my local version of freeboard, but I tested it on their site (freeboard.io), and it worked flawlessly. I would recommend updating your local files so that you have the most recent fixes and see if the issue persists.

I am experiencing the same issue

[ivnaru]

I solved it by changing the following line in the render function:

height = $(element).height();

to:

height = this.getHeight()*60;

I don't know if this is the best solution but it works.

Acknowledged that height = this.getHeight()*60; seems to work. Can you justify the magic number 60?

[nochte]

Looks like the height used to draw the path is being calculated before the widget is being populated. If I wait to draw the path until afterward, it will render with the given $(element).height(). Let me see where this rabbit hole goes.

Can't seem to break it with this.getHeight() * 60. Will open a PR.

Still have this issue, with the master branch (2016-01-24).
I can't find "height = $(element).height();" in the .min.js files. Are the uncompressed and minimized files unsynced ?

Complete necro-post, but it seems this is still an issue on a local server install I've been testing.

Have tried changing the "height = $(element).height();" in freeboard.plugins.js and freeboard_plugins.js but still no change.

Was there anything else done on the problem at all?
