Rhino for Mac - irregular grid bug (metal)

[rookie]

The grid is irregular while metal is enabled. Works fine when metal is disabled - via TestMetal command.

Does anyone know if there is a fix for this?

[ metal disabled ] works fine

[ metal enabled ] irregular grid

RH-80246 Grid display messy with high contrast

Hi,

since todays patch this problem has become worse.

The grid is still messy (not fixed) when metal is enabled.
When disabling metal the viewport gets completly black, everything disappears.

I would love for the grid problem to be solved asap since it’s such an essential feature.

Hi Aldin -
The fix for RH-80246 went into the first public release of 8.9 a few hours ago. You’ll have to change your update frequency from Service Releases to Service Release Candidates to get this version.

Hi Wim,

I installed the Service Release Candidate and it works perfectly.
I am stunned, thank you wim, thank you guys, the support is awesome.
