The bar at the bottom that crosses the frame perimeter first has nothing to do with it.

I agree that it's ridiculous to still have to be considering this but until we see something different from the GDC, I see no responsible option but to keep it in mind.

Let's all keep our fingers crossed!

You're right, we'll definitely keep an eye on that.

Though I'm confident our mechanism obeys the rules' spirit, there is always the lawyering...
