I don't know if that is a PFK bug or not, but Genie's point (at least in part) is that anything a viewer does can be used for a positive effect.
Stiles' Mac viewer lets cels be moved freely beyond the borders. As a result I have made a half dozen sets or so that won't play properly on PFK. One of them in particular I feel badly about. 8 cels fill the entire screen when the set is opened, then they move back in a pretty octogonal iris effect before moving out of boundry entirely and unmapping. On PFK you get a black screen for a couple seconds that then pops onto the KiSS set. A bug in Stiles' viewer? Perhaps. I've never understood the purpose of enforcing cel boundries because I see the advantages of not having them. Perhaps if I was the programmer or had started making KiSS on a viewer that enforced them I would see the advantages of that.
KiSS artists are going to find ways to show the features of the viewers they know.
