Selection marqee

In floor plan window, the selection marquee outline is really hard to see.
While in 3d window it show a grey fill. Occasionally I do get the same grey fill in floorpan for a couple of hours I start working on a file, then it reverts back to faint grey outline. Is this a bug?Is there a way to "fill" the marquee? I have tried changing the background color to no avail.

No that is just for the actual marquee and selection dots.
I can't say I have noticed a problem with the selection marquee but I have only just started using 20 - mine is a light grey fill.
I will keep an eye on it.

Hi.
In work environment->on screen options, change "Feedback graphics color" to any other bright color. I use RED.

Note that this will no only change the preselection window, but will also change the rubber band (when moving objects) and the origin color (and maybe other things' color too)

Best regards

The On-Screen Options method does change the color of selection marquee for both the marquee outline and fill in 3D window. But in floor plan view, it does not show fill, only the marquee online. Same for Selection and Element Information method: only showing the marquee outline, no fill.
Thanks anyway.

I know in the past when there has been trouble with rubber banding lines and marquees disappearing it has been solved with a video card driver update.

Not sure if this is the same with just the fill in the marquee.
