Marcus Bains "now" line broken in Plan and Gantt views

[charlesh88]

Summary

The Marcus Bains (aka "now") line is not positioning itself properly in Time Strip, Plan and Gantt views. Note the Time Conductor settings, - 7 / +7 hours which should place the line in the middle of the Gantt area:

If a Time Strip just has a Plan in it, it won't work as noted. But if the Time Strip has telemetry in it, it will work properly:

IMO this should be a blocker as it's severely misleading for situational awareness.

Expected vs Current Behavior

Steps to Reproduce

1. Put the Time Conductor into Real-time mode. Set the Start and End roughly the same interval.
2. View a Plan.
3. Observe the MB line at the very start of the Gantt area.
4. Add a Plan view to a Gantt view. Repeat step 3.

Impact Check List

• [x] Data loss or misrepresented data?
• [x] Regression? Did this used to work or has it always been broken?
• [ ] Is there a workaround available?
• [x] Does this impact a critical component?
• [ ] Is this just a visual bug with no functional impact?
• [ ] Does this block the execution of e2e tests?
• [ ] Does this have an impact on Performance?

Testing instructions: Do steps 1-3 for:

• A regular plan view (Viper Plans for example),
• A gantt chart view and
• A time strip view with at least one plot.

1. Change the time conductor to use Real Time.
2. Make sure that the now line shows up in the right place by changing the before and after offsets for the real-time window.
3. Resize the window and ensure the now line adjusts accordingly.
4. For a Gantt Chart or a time strip view, drag and drop a different plan into the view, accept the popup-dialog and re-test steps 1-3.
