<p>If two consecutive points are "very" far away, the bands (?) code
assumes that you made a jump in the path and put them with the
same path coordinate. How far is "very" far is defined i na funny
way: if thw new step is twice as large as the previous one:</p>

<p>My bands.x output however states:<br>

<p>As you can see, the fourth and fifth KPoint have the same x
coordinate, while they are not identical. <br>
</p>
<p>The .gnu output seems to state the correct energies, while the
x-coordinate just stays identical for this range:</p>
<p><i> 1.2198 -4.4150</i><i><br>
</i><i> 1.2286 -4.4160</i><i><br>
</i><i> 1.2374 -4.4163</i><i><br>

</i><i> 1.2374 -4.4594</i><i><br>
</i><i> 1.2374 -4.4544</i><i><br>
</i><i> 1.2374 -4.4316</i><i><br>
</i><i> 1.2374 -4.3909</i></p>
<p><i>....</i></p>
<p>I had the same issue occur with Cu (mp-30). <br>
</p>
<p>While I have found some outputs with the same problem (?)
online, it was the topic of the discussion. <br>
</p>
<p>Is this a bug, or am I missing/misunderstanding some intended
behavior?</p>
<p>Thanks and best, <br>
