Hi Chris,

I don't think we use the affected method (extrapolateToLine), because this is for 1D measurements.

From what I remember we use extrapolateToPlane everywhere instead. I will double check today though.

Still. This is a bad bug. Maybe it is worth updating anyway ? (there are not so many GENFIT users in sPHENIX any more anyway)

Our genfit version hasn't been updated in a long time (there was no need to - so far all cosmetic changes). Does this bug affect us and should I upgrade genfit?

Chris
