Checkpoints are probably bigger than they are rendered

I suspect that the checkpoints rendered in the editor are actually a bit bigger than the editor wants me to believe. I noticed it when editing tracks that produce at some point the “wrong track” message. When I examine the track in the editor, the rendered checkpoints close to the point where the message appeared do often not touch the other road part. One example is the first version of Winding.
If I am right, we would also have the explanation why the mistake with checkpoints collisions is common.

I can confirm (SR 2.1 on Linux, regardless of graphics preset).

i tested it too, i placed some small objects to to "border" in the editor (they show the size the checkpoints should be, when they were as big as in the editor"
then i drove with a distance of a 2/3 car from the objects

Right. Need to check.
What I know for sure is that checkpoint is a sphere, and car is just a point. So to check if car is in checkpoint I just use the cars center position and if this point is in checkpoint then whole car is believed to be.
But IDK if there is something else wrong.
