Highlighting text and objects stops untill I restart BricsCAD v14
A few months ago, I switched from an old Windows 7 computer, to a newer computer with Windows 10. I had hoped that this problem would go away. But, it has not.
Occasionally, I will have drawing that is very prone to having all highlight stop. So, if I select a line, it will not turn dotted. If I stretch, the crossing window will not cause the objects to turn dotted. If I edit MLINE text, I will not have a cursor, and the new text I type will not appear at all, until after I exit the edit mode. If I edit the attributes of a block, the editing window will not highlight text as I select it.
By exiting BricsCAD, and restarting it, the problem goes away. The problem is intermittent, though once it has started for a session of BricsCAD, it will stay until I exit BricsCAD. However, once this drawing has happened on a particular drawing, it tends to happen much more frequently.
The computer in both cases is an Nvidia card. I forgot what the old one was. The newer one is a Quadro K600 with the latest drivers.
I don't know how likely it is that the same bug survived a few versions of the operating system, plus a new video card and driver. But, I am guessing that it is inherent in BricsCAD v14. But, in case anyone has any ideas, I am willing to try them.

Did you ever find a solution for this problem? I'm having a similar one. Where when I double click text, or use ddmodify, to edit, sometimes the selected text disappears or when I type new text, the cursor does not show up on screen so there is no reference for the text. I'm using v22.0

No solution, and sometimes I have to edit text as though I were blind. I still have the same version and same computer. The problem has somewhat reduced in frequency over the years. Though, I've been underemployed the last few years, and not working on drawings as much. That may have been the solution! But, not one I would recommend.0
