Rift Runtime randomly changes between assumption of sitting and standig player

Normally my Rift application runs fine, but sometimes the Runtime decides the Camera might be positioned high, while i am sitting. Then everything is shifted down. If you stand up, it might guess you are not over 2.5m and go back to a sitting camera height assumption.

However, this is unsteady and I have not yet found a way to force it or even detect the offset. Is this a known problem and what are the solutions to this?

When I hold the Rift at camera height, it is sometimes 0.4m and sometimes 0.8m height

And to make the nonsense complete, the current manual is completely wrong about this:

"If you want to get the pose and leveled pose of a sensor, call ovr_GetTrackingState. The returned ovrTrackerPose struct contains the following:
• Pose—the pose of the sensor relative to the tracking origin.11
• LeveledPose— the pose of the sensor relative to the tracking origin but with roll and pitch zeroed out. You can use this as a reference point to render real-world objects in the correct place."

Oculus, stop wasting my time you 2$bln company not having a single person check on the manuals!

Ok, the corresponding method is not ovr_GetTrackingState as stated in the manual but ovr_GetTrackerPose. Still the ovrTrackingState (the real one) also has no:
• Pose—the pose of the sensor relative to the tracking origin.
As stated also false in the manual...
