[1.2.5] Wave of power incorrect range

I am pretty sure that the reason for this is a simple rounding issue, but at the moment, my Wave of Power skill has a range of 7 in the skill description. However, when I actually use it, the range is only 6 (the range 7 tile is red and cannot be targetted). I guess the skill description rounds my strength modifier up, while the actual game mechanics round it down, or something like that.
Anyways, skills should display the same range than the one used in game calculations.
EDIT: And now, I am supposed to have a range of 8, but I have only 7. Both of these observations were made with Wave of Power at 4/5 (talent level 5.2).

Does it give correct range on straight lines? I often have trouble on diaganols, but usually the range is accurate for the straights.
Regardless of that, yes, ToME 1.2 has a rounding error that causes a decent chunk of ranges to come up short. (I can't believe I'm saying this, but...) It's fixed in 1.3.

Nope, it was still one lower in a straight line.

You poor, poor person. For now, you are gladdened by the news that 1.3 will basically be like the second coming combined with Mardis Gras, but soon you will weep for hearing it, for all its promises remain nothing but a distance dream given to tempt us.
Good news is, Darkgod codes better when his players are crying, so the sooner the ennui overcomes you, the sooner 1.3 comes out.
