Newtonial Gravity Bug

    I don't know if someone has mentioned this yet, but I thought I would make a thread about it.

    To encounter this bug,
    1. Turn on Newtonial gravity
    2. Make a container that can hold a liquid. (Preferably WATR)
    3. Now, select a liquid from the menu and apply it far above the container.
    4. You should notice that the liquid is on a slant, like this:

    Not very important, but I am curious to know what causes it.

    Ya, it's because of the gravity. The gravity is similar to newtonian gavity so it works like that.

    I think it's some sort of surface tension, but kinda buggy.

    Its easy to explain.
    As I learnt from one of the developers,

    Yes. When Newtonian gravity is on or gravity is in radial mode, liquids use some new movement code, which doesn't work so well with vertical gravity.

    So until a fix gets released, turn off Newtonian gravity when not using it.
