    This has been going on for me since r38, except it is not for an instant, it is constant w/ movement of whatever the nameplate is over. A wobble is my best description.

    I believe it is tied to some axis in game and the players perspective, where previously it was fixed and now it is relative (or maybe the other way around).

    I notice you play on Linux; I play on Mac OS. Interestingly, I asked Windows users when I first noticed this and they did not seem to be having the same effect w/ their nameplates from their response. I've gotten used to it, but it was quite a messy thing to get used to.

    i've never seen it before today and a windows user confirmed what i saw. we may have two seperate bugs or one bug that spread from mac to both linux and windows.

    Could you both confirm that this issue is still visible in latest 559?

    @Attenwood for me, it is. I just checked.

    I've gotten used to it and have grown to like it, though it is very wobbly and may not make the best impression of the game.

    I am on OS X El Capitan on an early 2015 Macbook.
