Arm Pointing after Editing

Does anyone else get this?

Often, when I am working (editing) a prim or an object composed of prims, when I get out of the editor, my arm still points at the object. The only reliable way I've found to overcome this is:

- delete or take the object
- teleport to a different sim (sometimes works)
- relog

None of these options are really desireable.

Anyone have any ideas?

I've had that happen from time to time. I think it's a graphics glitch. It's annoying, but it doesn't really cause any harm. Sometimes sitting and then standing back up solves the problem, but the only surefire way to get rid of it is to relog.

Along the same lines, sometimes I end up with a leg or two pointing in odd directions or with the av repeatedly bending in half. Again, sometimes sitting fixes this, but most of the time it requires a relog. Definitely one of SL's finer little annoyances.
