Dear Lasse,

Are you talking about the white line that can be observed through the
origin in the MIP display, that appears for example in the "result.jpg"
file attached to this post on the SPM list:
https://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/cgi-bin/webadmin?A2=ind0804&L=SPM&P=107550 ?

If so, then this is a bug in spm_project that has already been fixed for
SPM8. It is just a visualisation bug so your possibilities are (i) wait
for the next update of SPM5 or (2) get SPM8 and copy all spm_project.*
from SPM8 to SPM5.
Hopefully, the MIP display should be fine afterwards.

Best regards,
Guillaume.
