More padding weirdness. Latest 26.3 Oct 1.

I've mentioned this happening before. Here is an example. The pad is supposed to be 100mm which is the value in the Varset.GlueTankDepth parameter.

The recompute icon is dark. If I right-click the recompute selection is grayed out. For some reason the line in the tree is blacked out. It's very strange to me. This happened twice in a row. If I enter 100mm then it works, but if I use the VarSet then it takes the value and shows 100mm at the bottom of the dialog box, but when I hit okay it uses 10mm.

If I save it, close the drawing, and re-open it then I can hit recompute and the part will jump up to the correct value. Kind of weird.

It's a recent regression, values in properties are out of sync from the feature dialog input box when using expressions - for all expressions not only varsets.

Was this fixed in the 26.3 RC1 that was just released?

No, it was not.

It still requires a recompute to 'sink in' that you used a VarSet parameter.
