I'll look into it for the next release.  What I did this time
was just increase the precision as much as I easily could,
without changing the general approach, which is inherently
one that leads to low precision.

I'm pretty sure the problem is entirely about the @Scale
symbol.  You can fill a box without using @Scale.  But
it all needs looking into properly.
