Display Anomaly?

Ever since I upgraded to DC-18, whenever I used [identify] or [identify-match] the screen-image jumps or blinks. Several of the other actions get a similar on-screen reaction. Occasionally even for a node osnap. Do I have a preset incorrect, or maybe a display-list issue?

Not seeing this here. Are you using a macro or something other than a single key like 'I' or the menus to start the commands?

I'll pay more attention to it's behavior, but definitely when I access [ identify ] from the toolbar. The screen image jumps or blinks, maybe it's regenerating the image?

Maybe something in the menus has changed that's triggering something when the macro runs.

Is your context tool bar docked or undocked?

That solved most of the jumping and resizing. The toolbar popping in and out was resizing the available screen-space, forcing a redraw/regen.

This happens when the toolbar font is too big for the text 'Context' in the Context toolbar, primarily with the 16px size toolbar icons. If you prefer the toolbar where you had it, with the last update you can now reduce the size of the toolbar font or pick a font that is not so tall and that would fix it or set larger icon size for the toolbars would fix it as well.
