Dotp bug (can be solved??)

[NeoAnderson]

I would ask to skilled friends if they found this bug when they implemented their cards.
If we remove all the types from a card who is copying something (like clone) when we restore the normal values the picture will be stretched, this effect will not end if the card leave the battlefield, return into hand....
It is linked only to that card instance, in facts if you have another of this card it is not affected.

If someone want to make some test i post the code for 2 simple activated abilities, the first make a copy of the current card on target permanent, then remove all the types, colours and abilities.
The second ability simply end the effect of the first ability.

Here you can see a visual example with Dual Nature :
BEFORE TO APPLY THE EFFECT

AFTER APPLIED THE EFFECT

TWO DIFFERENT INSTANCE IN PLAY (1 AFFECTED AND 1 NORMAL )


Would be nice if someone could have a solution for this issue!

the general illustrations size is 512*376, the illustration size of a colorless nonland nonartifact card is 712*1024, and the default value of LinkedDC():Get_Int(88) is 0. well, I think you know these, but actually I don't know what you want?

Sumo the pictures you can see above are 512*376, the problem is :
If you remove all the type and colours from a card, when the effect ends and you restore the source values and colours it keeps the picture stretched to 712*1024.
It seems that the engine doesn't reload the right picture size and i don't know any way to force it to reload the frame!
About the LinkedDC i miss to upload the second ability i used to restore the register to 1. But it is just a test code to make tests, to show to other users what i was meaning.
