[AutoCAD 2007] bug with Selection Preview Effect

[wvbesien]

AutoCAD 2007 has a "Selection Preview Effect": lines get thicker when you go over them with the mouse pointer.

Bug:
(1) make a block
(2) move mouse pointer over block: lines become thicker
(3) navigate with SpaceNavigator while mouse is over block
(4) stop navigating
(5) move mouse away from block
(6) bug: lines are still thick, until you select the block and press escape.

Release version 3.1.8
Driver version 6.1.7
Firmware version 3.17

Edit: It's not only with blocks, also with simple lines,...

Hi wvbesien

I tried to reproduce the scenario you described. I didn't succeed.

I moved the mouse over a block, the block got thicker lines, I started to navigate and I removed the mouse - the lines still remained thick until I finished the navigation.

I have used AutoCAD 2007 with a SpaceNavigator.

Could you specify more details in order to reproduce this issue?

Can you try again in 2D Wireframe mode?

I get this when the mouse is over an object:
before navigating (2D Wireframe): lines get thick
during navigation (automatic switch to 3D Wireframe): lines become thin (!)
after navigation (switches back to 2D Wireframe): lines are thick again
after removing the mouse: lines are still thick (!)

Isn't it possible to reproduce this bug?

Hi wvbesien

I will try to reproduce this bug again with a 2D wireframe model and I will let you know about the result.

Hi wvbesien

I tried again and I could reproduce the issue.

The lines aren't reverted after the navigation as they were before the navigation. I only used a polyline defined as block and inserted several times.

I used the classical AutoCAD interface and the latest 3DxSoftware v3-2-2.

OK, thank you!
