Fixed a rare issue where placing stairs at the edge of a platform would cause floating planks to appear above the stairs.

Fixed in Patch 1.99.264/1.78

@janefemalegamer Same with fence. I am used to using a fence around the top of the stairs, and railings on the stairs themselves for "safety". But now, when I use stair railings, the first and sometimes second also section of fence nearest the top vanishes.

And roof walls next to a ladder

I was able to reproduce what you got.  But I was able to get rid of the void by redrawing a full wall on the back of the stairs at the original floor level across the void so there is a way to hide the void.

Hope this helps

@CGrant56 That may address the OP's problem but for the fences near stairs, redrawing the fence deletes the stairs.

@IngeJones 

True.  But the issue with fences deleting the stairs did not happen when I was testing.  I could place stair railings and fence railings around the top of my stairs just fine on my test builds. I did not try a fence along the bottom of the stair.  I have seen a number of issues with fences though since the platforms got added so something is certainly going on with fences and platforms.

yeh but I dont want a full wall as it would have to go up part of the side and the balcony I wanted to make above would have a wall poking out weirdly. So will just leave my design idea until this is fixed as there are many issues with the platforms lol
