Strange sprite behavior when Y < 0

[trufun101]

I'm seeing some strange sprite behavior whenever the sprite's Y position is less than 0.  For example, if the fighter is uppercut off the screen - once the sprite's Y position is less than 0, the sprite gets all distorted, almost like the .gfxbase is corrupt.  Then, once Y is greater than 0, the sprite is fine again.

 

Has anyone else experienced this?  Is there a fix other than safeguarding the Y value?

 

Thanks

Not sure you saw my comment on the other post 

 

You can cull the sprite when y + height < 0

 

Not sure I've seen this problem though

The height of your sprite is wrong if this is happening.
