I installed this Release candidate for Mac (7.17.22088.17002) and now I experience bugs in the visibility of curves, that they sometimes are not visible (but they should) . It appears in all display modes were you can view curves and as I noticed it appears when you start zooming in and the curves hit (or continue) beyond the active display borders. Somehow it is kind of random, it seems not to effect every curve and when you zoom and or rotate the visibility of certain curves turns on and off.
It is easily to reproduce, open new file draw some curves (line, circle, etc) they can be connected to each other and you can copy paste so you have multiple randomly oriented curves (my test file contained around 50 curves). zoom out so all curves are centred in the screen and scaled half the screen size ( free space is available around the curves). If you then rotate and or zoom the display in perspective viewport without the curves touching the edge of the viewports everything is OK , but once the curves hit or cross the edge of the viewports the bug can appear ,if you rotated slowly you can see some curves flicker on/off and sometimes stay off although you stopped zooming/rotating. Changing the curve width in the rhino display settings has no influence on the bug (1 pixel or 10 pixel width give same result) Although I mentioned the perspective viewport it happens in all viewports.

Hi Wim, I think I found the “bug” or solution, if I switch off GPU tessellation in the Rhino OPENGL settings then the curves are visible and behave as normal. I do not know if it is a new bug or that the old issue with AMD and OpenGL came back with this latest Release Candidate because it only effects curves (including visibility of surface and solid edges) but not for instance dimensions.
