[Gate-users] [BUG] FFDA - Displaced detector geometry and primary projections

[Simon Rit]

Hi Gabriele,
I have managed to reproduce the error and I think I have a fix
https://github.com/OpenGATE/Gate/pull/497
I probably never detected this because I normally don't use a source offset
and a detector offset together... Can you test the fix and let me know if
it works for you?
Thanks,
Simon
