ArchiCAD R2+/V2+ (Build 2284) DISPLAY BUG

Anonymous — Mon, 31 May 2004 10:55:15 GMT

Since upgrading to ArchiCAD R2+/V2+ (Build 2284) from V1+ (1410) I have noticed a display bug that occurs any time I draw / edit an object, objects in the immediate vicinity of the object drawn / edited jump to the foreground when they should be in background. Zooming or Redrawing the view corrects the display issue but it happens every time I draw / edit an object.

This bug is especially annoying when show ghost story is on. Elements from the Ghosted Story also jump to the foreground and elements I've drawn seem to disappear. It's also very noticeable when using fills.

Is anybody else experiencing this?

For reference I use OS X 10.3.3 as my OS.

I am experiencing the same thing.

Could it be a video card problem? I opted for the Radeon 9800 Pro upgrade when I got the G5 and in doing a preliminary check using the video card test, I noted a couple of minor issues which I was going to reconfirm before submittting a report.

It is annoying.

Bug may be more general than video card specific because I have a Radeon 8500 (same family but much different display card. I believe they have a totally different pipeline architectures and chip-sets.) I am also running a G4.

It is very disappointing to me that Graphisoft does not do more bug testing before they release new versions. Every version of R2/V2 has had major bugs and this is the third go-around. I noticed this bug within one minute of using the upgrade.
