I noticed the overlapping bug is back this morning

Possibly due to the recent java update, anyone else seeing it? (Will depend on GFX drivers too obviously)

I don't think this is new, it's was happening back in 2009 when java was very stable on this site. I just put it down to a quirk of the game. If you keep striking the same ball enough, you can (sometimes) push it into the cushion, so it overlaps, a little like what you've shown above.

Yes it was explained as being a conflict between java and gfx drivers, NVidia at the time I think. Haven't seen it in ages, was kinda nostalgic
