Rectangle Tool Issue

[MikeN]

When drawing a rectangle using the rectangle tool, a thick black line surrounds the object until I'm finished selecting the start and end points. It happens only when using the rectangle tool and only in certain files. Did I miss something with the release of 9.5.1? Is this a toggle or a bug?

[MikeN]

No one wants to tackle this issue? It's still a problem. Should I be going through Bug Submit on this one?

This happens in all of your drawings?

Are you using a template for your drawings?

If you go to a new, blank document and create a rectangle with the rectangle tool in the 2d tools palette, you can reproduce this exact error ?

[MikeN]

No. This only happens in existing files. I'm not using a template and this does not happen in a new blank document.

Then there is probably a problem with the files you are working with.

If you copy and paste one of the "trouble" files to a new, blank document, does the problem still exist?

[MikeN]

This problem seemed to vanish when pasted into a new document. Although upon saving, exiting and reopening the file a few times, it re-appears. This is happening in a few files, not just one.

The problem comes back up again when you open the new file ?If you want, you can send one of the files in and see if we can find what might be causing the problem.

Do you know what version of VW these files were drawn in originally?
