[0.19][macOS] Not all parts can be highlighted

Post by Chamfer036 »

Hello,

I've just discovered FreeCAD a couple of hours ago, and playing with it just for the fun!

Not sure if this is a bug or not, but in my project (attached), it seems that in the part design workbench I cannot highlight all the parts in green, only some of them, and I cannot find why.

That would be handy to make renaming of parts (bodies?) easier.

I have attached a small video of the issue as well, I go through all the parts, some get highlighted in green and some not. The Report view and Python console do not show anything special

Thanks and keep up the good work!

Hi Chamfer, welcome to the FreeCAD forum.
This is a known issue; it is only a visual effect, the objects are nevertheless selected for further operations.

I see that you use 0.19.16540 on MacOS. Does it run stable? If you have crashes now and then, can you reproduce?

Thanks for the quick reply! By any chance do you have a pointer to the bug, to see if I can help?

Regarding the stability of this build, it crashed 3-4 times at different times during ~10hours, without clear pattern to me. I'll start to execute freecad from the command line to maybe catch the stacktrace or something useful.

I don't have a link, I only remembered discussions about the topic.

The crashes appear more often after switching between applications, but I cannot see a clear pattern.
