Fixes #2664 - the problem was the increasing decimation tolerance as points get farther from the viewport - if a segment crosses the viewport we need to use the on-screen (minimum) tolerance even though points on both sides are far enough away to get a high tolerance. Adds a little extra calculation into the decimation algorithm unfortunately, but I don't think it's too big a hit (nor do I see any higher-performance alternative).
