This is one that I’ve actually ignored for a while, because I usually don’t need to see the outline of my selection. The problem is that the dotted lines that are supposed to show up when box/circle/lasso selecting do not show up. This is in 2.49. I’ve tested it in safe mode and they do show up. Has anyone had a similar issue, and if so, do you know how to solve it? They show up properly in 2.5 for me. I’m using Vista SP2.
Also, when using blender 2.5 with Windows XP, the screen goes all fuzzy and red whenever the mouse is moved, but goes away if you move the entire window. The fuzziness comes back when the mouse is moved again.
