Open Boundaries not working?

When meshing my Hyb2 grid with Open Boundaries activated (everything else set to default) just 25% of my grid surface are meshed. Turning it off, the whole thing is meshed, again. Can anybody confirm it is not working?

Hi Florian,
The shape of the HY node need to be adjusted to the area you want to clip.

Hi Florian,

What is your scene scale? I have only been able to use open boundaries satisfactory when working in a geo-scale of 1 in rf, whenever I scale down or up in RF, the behaviour becomes somewhat random, but sometimes it works anyway...

Luis admitted this was a problem, meshing scales other than 1 with open boundaries turned on, but I haven't heard anymore since, and it wasn't fixed in the first update.
Your results may also differ depending on if you're meshing in gui or cmd.

I haven't had time to make proper before/after tests yet, but my feeling is that open boundaries is working alot better with the 132-patch, the current shots I'm working on are clipped as I'd expected.
