I am experiencing a strange issue in OVITO Pro. Whenever I hover my mouse over the viewport, all atoms suddenly turn into a red color. This happens regardless of the dataset I am using. However, the atoms do not return to their original colors when I move the cursor away. Instead, they only revert to their original colors when I either:
Click the Play Animation button (or press the spacebar).
Click on various buttons within the OVITO interface.
I couldn’t find a similar issue in the OVITO documentation or forum. Has anyone else encountered this problem? How can I disable this unintended color change?
I downloaded and ran the OVITO PRO (Windows version) you suggested, but the same issue persists.
It appears that both OVITO PRO and BASIC 3.12 versions have the same error.
For now, I have downgraded to OVITO 3.11, and the issue does not occur in this version.
If you find a solution, I would appreciate it if you could share it with me. I will also continue trying different approaches.
We are still trying to find a solution to this issue, which occurs only on certain Windows systems. Could you please help us by testing the following new development build of OVITO on your computer? Please let me know if it fixes the issue or not. Thanks!
Thank you, Fan, for testing this version. Yes, it is a pity that this has not yet led to any improvement, but we will continue to look into other possible fixes. It would be helpful if you could continue to assist us. Daniel and I will probably ask you again to test a new version sometime.
In this new version, OVITO uses a separate OpenGL context to perform the object picking offscreen rendering pass. That’s the (red & green) false-color image you accidentally see on screen, which is supposed to be invisible. Let’s see if this code change brings any improvement. Thanks.
