I used a nauJ's laser and when transformed the first triangle in the glass, I saw the laser stopped! I found that in some cases (depending on step) when the laser bumps into one particle of glass, it stops.
laser bugs feature glass problems

    Dozjon_K, sadness. But why there is still no fixed? I was happy when bug with water (communicating vessels) was fixed in 61 version of PT and I hope that this bug will be fix... soon.

    Theeboris, so, is it normal for program which tries models (simulate) the real world?

    Vinayak, and yes, temperature does not matter if we want stop beam of photons on 2 or 3 steps from last photon. But on 1 or 4 step the beam continues to go. On 5 or 6 step all repeats for 2 or 3 steps respectively. And so on.

    DSJ, unfortunately not anywhere on the horizontal line the glass particle can stop a beam of photons. I showed it.

    I don't know whether this is bug or feature but, you can stop all 3 lasers with 1 pixel of glass.

    Monolith, thanks! I teach English. Do I still have errors in a text?

    The temperature does not matter. The reason for this effect is that photons travel 3 pixels per frame so they 'skip' over some particles.
