[Opensim-users] avatar(s) intermittently trapped below ground

[Justin Clark-Casey]

I'm afraid that I can't see anything from that picture.  From the viewer screen, all avatars appear to be standing normally.

If I remember, your running a megaregion setup with a large number of regions, right?  I don't know if that may cause 
terrain issues though if other avatars are standing normally that would seem less likely.  But testing on a conventional 
region setup would be the first step.

Is there anything special about the appearance settings of this avatar?  Is it unusually high or have some other extreme 
setting?  What happens if these are changed?  Does this issue always happen?  What happens if they stand on a prim 
rather than terrain?
