Graphics card: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080/PCIe/SSE2 NVIDIA Corporation 4.5.0 NVIDIA 496.76

Blender Version
Broken: version: 3.0.0 Release Candidate, branch: master, commit date: 2021-11-25 17:24, hash: 2fb8c6805a
Worked: (newest version of Blender that worked as expected)

Caused by b9febb54a4

Short description of error
If I add extrude or bevel to any curve, it keeps showing the object selection too!

The bug is present from sometime September. My end of August build is fine but end of September build is already buggy.

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error
Add any curves, add extrude and / or bevel to it then go to edit mode.

Also: that selection outline should not look like that in editmode

Can confirm.
Objectmode lacks the line as well.

This is because the evaluated mesh from a curve object is handled as an instance internally, and instance outlines don't turn off when in edit mode. So I see two options:

Turn off instance outlines when in edit mode.
Handle the instances that come from other geometry component types (points from mesh objects, meshes from curve objects, etc.) differently, only disable the edit mode outlines for them.

Hi Hans, I posted the bug originally.
I'm surprised these are related but no, you definitely shouldn't show outlines of any selected instances (in edit mode) either.
So if it's possible please solve this bug with turning those OFF.

I'm planning to report a much more complex visibility issue regarding instances and collection instances.
This above would be at least one less issue for them.

Tagging high priority bugs with 3.1 so we get an overview of the work remaining for that release. If the module owner does not consider this planned for 3.1, please change the tag to 3.2 or lower the priority to normal.

I'll see if I can find the overlay code that chooses where to make the outline. Due to 3.1's current state of high priority fixes only, I'll make the patch for 3.2 though, since this bug isn't new in 3.1,

Sorry Hans but just because it's not new it doesn't mean it's not high priority.
Please (really please!) try to squeeze in the fix if possible, this is a huge visibility bug and it makes working with curves much harder.
It gives me real pain to imagine more months of delay in fixing it (I've encountered it since November and reported it in December)

Also regression fixes should always be high priority. This worked perfectly before. Please don't ship a broken 3.1 in this regard.

Agree with @DavidKozma , this bug is really too long living

Hans Goudey commented

2022-03-02 16:08:49 +01:00

Okay, fair enough. Since I've found a simple fix I think it's okay to target this at 3.1.

Seems like this is not solved for me. Still looks like this:
{F12894586 size=full}
Should look like this
{F12894588 size=full}

Oh shoot, you're right. The change doesn't affect wireframes. I'll see if that's also simple to solve.
