Rhino 8 display error

Dear All,
I am currently using Rhino 5 and Rhino 8, but the display on the command line in Rhino 8 looks somewhat broken. Has anyone encountered this issue and can share how to fix it.
Thanks.

Hi -
In Rhino 8, please run the SystemInfo command and copy-paste the result here.

Can you post a screenshot of this?

Please see the comparison images.

Hi -

Those are two different computers. Are you comparing Rhino 5 and Rhino 8 on the same computer, or Rhino 5 on one and Rhino 8 on the other?

The command line is the part of the Rhino UI where commands and options appear:

Is this where you are seeing something that looks somewhat broken?

Or did you mean the display of wires in the viewports?

If so, we have that on the list → RH-78744 Display: Curve drawing quality
You could try to increase the line thickness to 2 pixels in the display modes that you use.

Hi ,
I simultaneously attempted to install both Rhino 5 and Rhino 8 on the same configuration. I initially thought there was an issue with my computer, so I tried installing Rhino 5 and Rhino 8 on another machine, but the display issue persisted, giving a sense of broken lines and edges.
When zooming in on the lines in Rhino 8, the display appears jagged, whereas in Rhino 5, the lines remain smooth.

Hi -

Yes, that’s RH-78744.

Hi
I’ve adjusted OpenGL to 8X but the wires still appear jagged . Thank you.

Dear …

Do you have a solution to this problem?

Hi -

When bugs are discovered or feature requests are posted, we create a YouTrack report for those and assign it to a developer that works on the commands that are related to the issue.

The developer than makes a quick assessment of the severity of the issue and the amount of time it will take to resolve it. The state of the report is then changed from “submitted” to “opened” and a target release is set.

As new reports keep on getting placed on a developer’s list, the target release is reviewed from time to time.

As of today, there are 15 478 unresolved items on the list. The developer who works on wire display has 2 495 unresolved items and is currently working hard on rewriting large parts of the UI code that is new in Rhino 8.

On top of this, the task of modifying the wire display code is not something that is clearly defined, but rather an infinitely ongoing process where hardware, drivers, and targets constantly change.

Long story short: RH-78744 is not something that you should be holding your breath for waiting for it to be solved.
