Section window bug?

Anonymous — Fri, 26 May 2023 13:05:26 GMT

I am having a problem running AC10 (with latest patch 966) on my Dual processor G4 macintosh. The mac is completely up to date concerning software (10.4.7).

The problem I'm having is in the Section Window. Some lines are not selectable, when moving the arrow tool over these lines the cursor does not respond, it's as if the line does not exist. Also when trying to use the arrow tool to select by putting a box around the lines it will select items outside the box.

I did start the project in AC9, saved it in AC10. I saved the file back to AC9 and this problem went away.

Has anyone else had this problem?

Is your snap grid turned on? That's the most common cause for not being able to select something.

Snap grid is turned off.

Is it only in one section? Or all of them? What mode is the section set to? (Auto-rebuild, manual, or Drawing)

I cannot reproduce the problem now. When I was having a problem there was a lot of strange graphic feed back when selecting and deleting. It looked like half the screen would split horizontally and shifted upwards, kind of hard to explain. I will let you know if it happens again. Thanks for the feedback.

In the past I have had problems selecting and it was a result of the visible zoom being out of sync with the actual zoom (no idea why). A change in zoom level would correct things. So it is a bug related to the video card. I cant remember if this has happened with v10 but definitely was a feature after i upgraded to G5 2Gig under v9
