[Bug] Building tracks in underground view off by 1 tile

Simutrans Version: 102.2.2-3122

When I build a train track in underground view, the end position is off by one tile.

First picture shows where I start to build, second shows where I finish.
I moved the mouse by one tile, so one track element should be build, but actually three track elements are build.

The problem appears when building tracks in "underground view", but not in "layer slice view".

This is not a bug... In full underground view, the cursor moves on the surface not on the underground! Only if a tunnel tile is under the cursor, simutrans knows how deep it has to build.

You can drag with the mouse to get a preview of what will be built.

right. You can use "Layer slice view" if you want.

I would agree that it's not a severe bug, and it might not be easy to change, but it's still a bug :) Or at least it's nothing a user would expect.

But is the bug in the program or in the user ? :D
