Wrong objects representation in edit mode

I have problem with lines representation in edit mode. All sizes and coords numbers are integer, scale of objects and scene is 100%. In compiled swf all looks great, but in preview mode I see blurred lines. I can't find out why. I attached zoomed screenshot.

    Preran did say: "While this could be a product issue", so at some level he's able to accept that the software has problems to solve.

    Would you be willing to log a bug, and give a simple example file for them to see the issue? If you are, go here:

    Welcome to Animate, where the editor view has always been, at best, a close approximation of the final product. That's why you continuously Test, Test, Test as you're working.

    Anyway, if you're trying to get pixel-precise results using the vector tools, you are Doing It Wrong. Either use bitmaps instead, or accept that vectors can be a bit sloppy.

    Previously I saw exactly the SAME image during the editing mode and in compiled mode. So I could work fast not spending too much time compiling to see the final result too often. And now I should do it.

    I know the principles of Animate as a software an OK with that. I even can say more. I use this software for 19 years since it was Macromedia Flash v3 or v4.  I'm a very-very good payed professional because of my pixel-perfection as one of my skills. That's why I think I realy know how to use it effectively to create graphics for web sites and social games. I love the tools and being kind of flash-evangelist in my company for years. And I see no reason you can say I'm doing something wrong here and teach me how to do my job.

    I think it is my eyes, I cannot make out the difference between the two pictures. Or I am looking at the wrong places.

    While this could be a product issue, I am guessing that you are still good because the final output is satisfactory.

    Thanks,

    For your interest Preran, the bad images are showing antialiasing on the edges, meaning that the stage preview is drawing them not on pixel boundaries.
