Sorry to bother you with this question, but I could not find the answer in the knowledge base nor in the documentation .
When I select one vertice in, let say the front view, it turns yellow, but only in the front view. In the other views (left, top and cam), it remains pink which bothers me as I canât see the selected vertice.
To make it turn yellow in let say the top view, I have to move my mouse over the top view and refresh it using the Z key twice.
Hey! Iâve got that problem too. I thought I was just doing something wrong since Iâm a newbie. This problem didnât start for me until I downloaded the last release (not the raytrace, but the official 2.31 update version). I was assuming it was my video card or something since I canât seem to get my Radeon 9600pro to work with Redhat 9 yet. No 3d support, just 2d.
This is strange : this morning, I open Blender and start working with it, and the strange behavior is no more. Selected vertices in one view are instantly shown selected in the three other views.
That seems weird to me and looks like a bug. Anyone other than pnoland and me having this ?
Itâs not a bug. itâs due to the fact that vertices donât have z-sorting at all and your object is probably a cube, and your other views are in ortho mode, and your non-selected vertices occlude your selected ones.
My blender behaves in the same way. I have to grab or do something else in the other window(s) to make selected vertices yellow. (2.31a) Itâs really annoying for I just started to create a point by point face.
OK, Iâve found it, itâs a bug. This is how to reproduce it :
create a cube
go into edit mode
make sure that âDraw Normalsâ, âDraw Facesâ, âDraw Edgesâ and âAll Edgesâ buttons are not selected
in one view, select one vertice, then another, and youâll see on other views that the selected vertice in not changed (not updated)
push the button âDraw Edgesâ or âDraw Facesâ and try to select vertices one after the other, and youâll see in the other views that the selected vertice is changed (correctly updated).

I´ve heard that this is Blender´s default⌠and one must press NUMPAD 9 to update. It behaves like a bug, thou, and I wish that all views would automatically update.
No no no, the only place where it doesnât update by default is in the case of materials. And itâs quite logical, especially since it could easily slow everything down when working in shaded mode with big models.
