HTML5 Scaling issues with runtime 2.1.4.203 [SOLVED]

Hey!

I've been using for long time @Nocturne script to do scaling in HTML5. That old, good and always working HTML5 scaling snipped is now giving me offset coordinates. It seems like the GUI size is not following the canvas scaling, affecting clicks events in objects.

I can see Mark reported the issue here, and although it was flagged as resolved, it seems like the problem is still there (I even downloaded the attached example and managed to reproduce the problem, the square is not clickable when the windows is resized).
I also created my own example that shows the offset problem in action when the windows is resized down.

Does anyone knows if this is a valid bug/issue, or if something that changed in the runner now requires a different approach in the scaling code I might be ignoring? I tried several approaches and unfortunately I can't find a working scaling solution for HTML5 anymore.

For me it's the window_set_position() that is no longer working as it did in 2.1.3.189. The newer runtimes (.200+) all seem to have changed how that function affects HTML5. That function is central to the scaling script you are referring to I believe.

I'm actually not using window_set_position(), I think I'm just using window_center(). However, there's a bug with the scaling. The only alternative I found was rollback the runtime, which is a shame because versions 200+ has several interesting HTML5 fixes.

I found that window_set_position() will now work only if there is an index.html file in the Included Files and the project is set to use it (HTML5 options setting). This is the opposite of what the documentation currently says.

You're right though the mouse coordinates are all off as well.
