Hi everybody,
I' ve got some time to work with Freecad and get the following trouble:
When I select any object, it appears to be selected in the list but is'nt displayed with a different color.
I wonder if it's a bug with Gnome or the graphic card...
I'm working with Ubuntu Gnome 10.04 up to date.
No trouble under Win7.
Thanks for your help.

Re: Selection is'nt displayed
Make sure that selection is activated, see Preferences > Viewer > Colors > Selection.

Re: Selection is'nt displayed
Oups,
Last time I was silly.
Now, I think there is a problem.
I create a file, draw a rectangle or a line.
No highlight in rolling over or selecting. BUT, Preferences > Viewer > Colors > Selection is checked.
If I open an old file, the selection is highlighted.
If I draw a new rectangle in the old file, no more highlighted selection. Then, if I delete the new item, it dosen't change.
If I undo until the first manipulation of the old file, I doesn't change either.
No more selecting highlight.
If I reopen a file, with or without saving it, the highlight is enable again.
I really don't understand.

Re: Selection is'nt displayed
Hm indeed I can confirm this too...
The shape viewprovider has changed a couple of days ago, I suppose there lies the problem.
Couple of situations:
- open a new document, draw a Part Box. Selection/preselection works
- draw a Draft Rectangle. Selection/preselection doesn't work anymore, on neither of the 2 objects
or
- open a new document, draw a Draft Rectangle. Selection/preselection doesn't work
- draw a Part Box, selection still doesn't work on neither of the 2 objects
or
- open a new document, draw an Arch Structure (which uses the part pythonfeature viewprovider), select/preselect works
- add an Arch Wall (which contains a Draft Line), select/preselect still works
so it looks like the culprit is the way the Draft module works. A further confirmation, if I make a Draft Rectangle by script (import Draft, Draft.makeRectangle(2,2) ) then selection still works.
Probably something the draft module does with pivy "disables" selection... I'll try to narrow down

Re: Selection is'nt displayed
Hi,
I've posted about this already, and Werner acknowledged the problem but is stumped on the source of this problem. I can't locate at the moment where exactly we discussed this in the forum. (either of the few Sketcher/Part Design threads)
It is really recent, maybe about a week. I opened a bug in Mantis: https://sourceforge.net/apps/mantisbt/f ... php?id=433
I hope you guys'll be able to find what the problem is. The only workaround I know of is to save the document, close it and reopen it again. But this has to be done for almost each operation...

Re: Selection is'nt displayed
oops hadn't seen that one... I added the info there too
Re: Selection is'nt displayed
I have implemented a workaround. I still have to dive into this issue to see what the actual problem is but for the moment the fix is good enough.
Re: Selection is'nt displayed
Thanks for the fix, Werner, it works well from an end user point of view.
