Howdy all -- This seems so annoying, yet it's quite reproducible. I select an object, use (redraw obj 3) to highlight it, pop an alert box, then use (redraw obj 4) to un-highlight.
The problem is that unless I "jiggle" the alert box, the object won't highlight!
Try this:
(defun rdtest (/ obj)
(setq obj (car (entsel)))
(redraw obj 3)
(alert "Kick me")
(redraw obj 4)
(princ)
)
On my system, at least, the highlight will NOT happen unless I move the alert box. I thought it might be related to hardware acceleration, but that had no effect. Is there any was to force the highlight before the alert box pops up?
Thanks
