openGL weirdness with 3D CAD program

I've recently upgraded to the 5582 release
I'm using CoCreate OneSpace Designer v 14.00
There are several weird graphical anomalies

1. When I press the right mouse button to get a contextual menu the menu briefly flashes on the screen and then disappears. If I then move the cursor around the menu will reappear. Kind of like scratching a lotto ticket.

2. When selecting an edge, face or vertex there is no visible feedback that the particular 3D element has actually been selected. The visual feedback that I am expecting is a change in the color to the highlight color (yellow in my setup). However, if I move or rotate the 3D model then the video is updated and I can see which element I've selected.

They seem to be related? i.e. some sort of failure to refresh the graphics properly.
Bug #1 is new to 5582.
Bug #2 was also present in 5160.

Help please.

Thanks,
Scott
 
I am having these same exact problems but in a different CAD program, Tekla Structures. I only have this issue if I am using a "rendered" view. If I am in a wire frame view i have no issues. I believe that Tekla is using Open GL for their "rendered" views.

Same "Bug #1 is new to 5582. Bug #2 was also present in 5160." for me as well.

Same problem with Unigraphics NX5, another OpenGL based CAD app. Dialog boxes show up briefly and then either partially disappear or completely disappear. Waving the mouse over the dialog can "repaint" some of it if it has animated/dynamically highlighting buttons, but only minimizing the whole CAD window and then maximizing will reveal everything properly again. Dragging any dialog around the display causes lots of flashing partial updates around the borders of the dialog, and generally results in an unreadable dialog. This is on a MBP 2.4GHz with NVidia GeForce 8600M GT.
 
I guess listing my hardware might help the developers:

Any word when this might get fixed? It doesn't seem to have been addressed in 5584, so I'm crossing my fingers for the next update. It's usable, but quite ugly and often a pain to have to constantly minimize/maximize the window to force a redraw of the dialog box.
 
I've updated my CoCreate OSD to version 15.50 and my Parallels to ver. 3 build 5584.

Most of the graphical bugs have been fixed. Only a few of the warning boxes and some of the sub-dialog boxes (... dialog boxes called from dialog boxes) display the lotto ticket syndrome and need to be scratched to become visible.

Issue #2 has also been fully fixed!!!! yeah! This was the problem that when selecting an edge, face or vertex there is no visible feedback that the particular 3D element has actually been selected. It is all working as expected now.
