Selection Highlighting Persists After Object Deselected

[willofmaine]

This keeps happening, sporadically of course: suddenly, when I deselect an object (such as the symbol in the attached video), its (in this case green) selection highlighting persists.  Even when the object is moved, the selection highlighting remains.  It's necessary to close and reopen the file to resolve it.  VWIS189

What happens if you double click the "H" key (standard workspace, Pan tool)? Does the mistaken highlighting go away?

 

What setting do you have for Graphics Compatability in the VW Preferences? Whatever you have try one of the other settings.

Hi Pat,

 

I've figured out at least one thing that causes this (it's happened before, and I can't say that I'd done the same thing back then).

 

The problem seems to occur when I attempt to make a 2D symbol out of a line drawing (section/details).  The original drawing is a combination of screen plane and layer plane objects.  In creating the symbol, I select "Change 2D Objects from Layer Plane to Screen Plane" but, for whatever reason, a few polylines remain in the "3D" plane, resulting in a hybrid symbol.  All's fine at that point.  It's after I edit and exit the 3D component of the symbol (where I select the rogue polylines and send them to the screen plane, finally resulting in a 2D symbol) that the selection highlighting won't let go.

 

Panning doesn't seem to make a difference (using the space bar to pan; my "H" key is set to something else).

 

It does seem that it happens in Best Performance, but not Best Compatibility.  VWIS189

 

Thanks, Will

Issue persists with SP3.
