Sorry that should have been:

But yes the scale bar does indeed only cover the range from end of 1st
leg to end of 2nd leg, not from start of 1st leg. (i.e 4m not 8m).
That does seem to be a bug. You could confirm if this only happens
with diving data or all data, and if it is indeed just not counting
the start of the 1st leg, then report it at
http://trac.survex.com/newticket  (you'll need to make an account).

Not silly so far.
