The end point of calibration stick cannot be set in version 6.3

In 6.3.0 and 6.3.1, the end point of calibration stick cannot be set:

After clicking on the second endpoint of the calibration stick, there will still be a prompt to click to mark the two ends of the stick, and cannot mark the second end.

At this point, the distance in the screen is incorrect, and when check the saved trk file, you will find that the length of the calibration stick is 0. After changing it to any non-zero number, the calibration stick will be able to set and adjusted in tracker.

This issue is not present in versions 6.2 and earlier, as well as in the online version.

Thank you for reporting this bug. I'm traveling without my laptop so I'm unable to work on fixing it until late June. In the meantime I'm pretty sure it will work if you open the preferences dialog and set the calibration stick to mark itself automatically rather than with the mouse.

Thanks a lot for your reply and suggestion, changing setting of the new calibration sticks to center in view solved this problem.
