NPC desactivation/despawn algorithms (offscreen) Problems [Fixed Patch 10]

There is a problem with the current NPC desactivation algorithm. Some NPCs won't appear again:
However in SMBX 1.3 the exact same setup works fine:
This is the whole image of the level:
To fix this, SMBX 1.4 should implement SMBX 1.3's NPC desactivation algorithm: the NPC will be desactivated after being 4 seconds offscreen:
I found another problem and it's not related with what I said above.
The game isn't respawning offscreen NPCs correctly:
But In SMBX 1.3 it works fine:
My guess is that the game does not recognize accurately when a NPC is offscreen (probably because of an error with the coordinates?) and that's causing this goomba not being able to spawn.
