Description

I’m on macOS 10.12.6 with Xcode Version 9.2 beta (9C32c) with MBP Retina display
running this simple code

    ofBackground(0);
    int _h = mouseX;
    ofSetColor(255);
    for(int i=0; i<1000; i++){
        
        ofDrawLine(i, _h,i, _h+20);
    }

produces this image where lines should have been drawn one beside the next but for some reason some are on top of each other. I have seen this in previous versions too.

Inspect the resulting adjacent vertical lines and compare the rendering with the expected one-line-per-x-position output; done requires identifying and confirming the cause or documenting the supported behavior.
