[BUGGY but solved]: 0.20.1 often the shadowing disappear

Post by BartR »

Windows 11 Pro 64 bit

On a solid, when I go back from

Going from
View > Draw Style > No Shading
to
View > Draw Style > Shaded

it's ok but when I'm back to
View > Draw Style > No Shading

All the visibility is flatted down (see the attachment) and I'm not able to re-establish it.
I have to restart FreeCAD to get it back.

Is it a recon bug? Or is there a way to get it normal in another and more simple way?

But, not knowing what hardware, OS, and FC version, we have no idea whether it;s a hardware issue, software bug, difference because of the version, etc.

In other words we need a crystal ball to scry what might be. ;)

It never happened to me......

But maybe I'm using a different version to you? We can't tell because you didn't follow the rules even though you know them.

No it isn't as far as FreeCad is reporting correct version of the OS ... so: not like in this case.
It's NOT Windows 10 Version 2009 but Windows 11 Pro version 21H2 ... Build 22000.1281

I found the way.

Just select the last feature of A body (no matter which one):

Right Click > Set Colors > Set to Default

and everything comes back to normal without to restart the project of worse: FreeCAD.

Not clue if it's a bug or an anomaly: it occurs.

@Bance I see that the menu help etc, doesn't report graphics card etc ... what if this is due graphic card/driver issue?
Hence: not only the report is partially wrong, but also uncomplete ...
