Error with doors when opening old project in 9

Does anyone else see this problem when you open and older project with 9 ?

To fix it, you need to select it and change something, then change it back, and it will correct its self. Doing a rebuild or redraw will not fix it.

Oversize?

No. Not oversize. To fix it I open the Door Selection Settings, click a different door panel, click the original door panel again, and click OK. It rebuilds and looks fine.
It is not hard to fix the problem because I can select all doors at the same time. I happens to my windows too.

Is the older project using a new V90 library or is it still loading the old library?

If it is using the new library then I think you might find that the object has a different default size in the older library compared to the same object in the new library.

I'm not sure if it also has something to do with how the new library object was saved.
It may depend on what the detail settings are in the parameter list as highlighted in the attatched image.
I know this makes a difference as to how this is set but you will need to experiment to see which is best (i.e. resave the new object).
I haven't sat down and played with it myself yet but I will one day.
This only makes a difference when the default sizes of the same object in different libraries are different to each other.

I have a similar problem but with the curved multirail handrail coming it at the wrong size.
