Sketch grid randomly disappearing when drawing

Post by fcusr »

Hi!

When I draw sketch the grid randomly partially disappears as shown on picture. It only reappears when I finish drawing a new shat, which is not very useful. Is it bug or feature? And if it is a feature how to turn it off so that it would always show grid.

Attached image shows how I only have part of it visible.

Can you give me link of 0.19 for windows?

Your github page says:
Download the FreeCAD_0.19.*-Win-Conda_vc14.x-x86_64.7z file from the release page

but your release page only lists 18.4 as latest. Luckily it did not happen with 18.4 as well. But I am not sure if it was random or if it was fixed.
