I have been experiencing a new glitch when doing a lot of detail editing, moving the camera around a lot and zooming in to get better angles and selecting small parts. At some point the outlines of everything in the viewer suddenly get a dotted (or rather dashed) border around them and the camera perspective gets altered in odd ways (i.e., texture warp when zooming in at odd angles). I haven't been able to discover the cause or the solution other than to relog. The lines appear around the objects I'm editing, but also around the borders on the various window open in the viewer. Even the Inventory window. I'm doing lots of mouse movements and keystroke at the same time. I suspect I am accidentally doing some combination that invokes this situation. Is this a glitch to be reported, or some useful new feature I just don't know how to use? I haven't been able to consistently reproduce the situation.

very difficult to say anything about at all can you make a screenshot of the odd behavior?
It is posible that the isue is HW related -eg it could be a gfx-card ao driver isue..

If you're using the release candidate viewer, anti-aliasing gets switched off (all diagonals turn jagged) whenever you select an object for editing. It's really annoying. Hopefully they'll fix it before the RC goes main.
Is that what you mean?

Unfortunately, this is an occasional glitch that I can't reproduce at will. I'll try to post a proper screenshot next time it happens. It's possible it's a HW issue. It hasn't happened on my good computer at home. But it's an odd thing that seems almost like it's intentional. It's not anti-aliasing. For example, the Edit tool window gets a border around it that makes it look like a coupon you'd cut out of a magazine. Very regular dashes, like this: - - - - -. Not like this: .......... or ^^^^^^. And everything that's active, the GUI, HUDs, the object I'm editing, they all get this. But normal objects look normal. It's like a different kind of Select state or something. Perhaps a low-resolution state? Is there such a thing?
