So it's come to my attention that this is really annoying, because if I try to make a video or anything with a custom shader enabled, my trails zoom in, and start rotating, and transparency is really messed up, and Im wondering if this is a bug with 3.86, or just something on my end.

Pictures of the issue:




So is it a general bug or something wrong on my end?

It is a general bug , i also noticed it when i watched one of mosier's replay with meatwad_silver.inc
The trails are zoomed etc.

The lighting used in shaders changes what textures look like. There's a few shader settings that transparent textures don't like, and of course some that kill trails & particles completely.

Just turn off the trails if you're making a video, they generally get in the way of what's happening.
