Well, all your pillars are drawn in reverse sense. The yellow tick should allways point to free space! Like it is in pits or chimneys. In your case - it points to the insight of pillar.

So in the pillar case - you should draw this line in CW sense. But checking reverse option for line for each line flowstone should help.

You have there one line with two identical points (no idea how this can happen in xtherion - it should not). In any case - new version will not fail in this case. It is just a problem of symbol set.

If you mean (mptextmp.mp) [60], it is bug in xtherion :) It should not be highlighted (this bug is also already removed).

The best clue for you would be probably new release. Most of the bugs you are still reporting are already removed and a lot of functionality you asked for is added. Unfortunately, it will be finished in about 2 or 3 weeks.

But if you are using therion so intensivly, it would be probably better if I sent you current state of 0.3.6 by mail, and you will test it. It should save you some time...
