What causes component positions to change when creating MM fonts?

blank

When I create MM fonts in Fontlab, using Blend Fonts or Mask-to-Master components in the masters sometimes move into new positions. Am I doing something wrong, or is this a bug?

It happens all the time. It seems, it changes the coordinates between the components. This is definitely a bug.

Oh well. I guess it’s another reason to use Superpolator whenever possible.

I only make component glyphs after I have created the MM files. Much, much easier.
