Yes, I´m aware of this.

Well, ATM there´s no cure for that overlapping problem. There´s only help for
the vertical alignment issue.

I have the same problem with the horizontal depot view, but I really don´t care
anymore ... :/

Apropos, another hint.

It *may* be that your engines resp. wagons are shifted horizontally accidentally
(unintentionally) because you modified their x/y-offsets during the process of
aligning them properly on-track. I.e. their alignment *looks* correct but
they´re *shifted* in one direction, nevertheless. If that´ll be the case,
they´ll be also misaligned in the depot window (there´s a "special" overlapping
between engine and first wagon in your picture).

A good method to test proper offset alignment is to stop a (preferably
symmetrically built, i..e. engine-waggon-waggon-engine) train and flip its
direction. If the train´s vehicles are well aligned the train wouldn´t "jump".
O/c this has to be tested in all four main directions ( / - \  | ), beginning
with the single engines ...

I found these "false" offsets also an additional contribution to the general
depot misalignment.
