Raw.plot_sensors placing the sensors in the wrong positions

[olavblj]

Describe the bug

When using plot_sensor on a small set of sensors, the plot is wrong. It however works when plotting with all the sensors.

Steps and/or code to reproduce

        subject = 1
        runs = [6, 10, 14]

        raw_fns = eegbci.load_data(subject, runs)
        raw_files = [read_raw_edf(f, preload=True, stim_channel='auto') for f in
                     raw_fns]
        raw = concatenate_raws(raw_files)

        raw.rename_channels(lambda x: x.strip('.'))
        raw.pick_channels(["C3", "C4", "P3", "P4", "STI 014"]) # If this line is removed, it will plot the sensors positions correctly
        raw.rename_channels({"STI 014": "STIM"})

        raw.set_montage(read_montage("standard_1020"))
        raw.plot_sensors(block=True)

Expected results

I expected a plot of the correct sensor positions.

Actual results

This plot, which is clearly wrong.

thanks for reporting your issue. We already started to fix it. See:

#5472

That's cool, thanks for the quick reply! Do you have any idea when it will be merged in though?

[larsoner]

Hopefully in a couple of weeks. Need to finish the work and make sure it does not break anything

Hi! Sorry to bother you, but I'm wondering how this patch is coming along. I am considering using MNE in my master thesis, and will be dependent on it working if I choose to do so.

It should be done by November. I don't know how soon before then
