R8 - Gumball doesn't appear when selecting objects from Materials tab

Rhino Rhino for Windows
, ,
1

Using version 8.2.23333.9481 on Windows 11.
Steps to reproduce:

  1. Turn Gumball on
  2. Create two (or more) objects and two new materials
  3. Switch to the Materials tab
  4. Select one of the materials and from the context menu click “Select Object(s)”

Result:
The proper object gets selected but Gumball isn’t shown. I need to toggle it off and on again for it to appear.

Further observation: Selecting objects using the “SelMaterialName” command does not produce this bug.

Thanks for letting us know. I’ve logged this as:

I just noticed this bug also exists in Rhino 6 (so probably been always there). I have no idea, how I noticed it only now that I’m trying R8 evaluation.

Aaand I just found out that this bug also exists when selecting from the new Block Manager in R8 (in R6 this doesn’t happen because closing the old Block Manager window triggers the gumball). Not sure if the fix would fix both automatically so I thought I’d better mention it.

Hi Simon -

Thanks → RH-80238 Gumball: Does not show

Yes, apparently, the one fix didn’t cover this. RH-78969 was fixed in December for 8.4.
