Description

The drag-select rectangle shows as a green line against black background (or other dark background colors, e.g. blue), reddish line against white background (or other light background colors, e.g. khaki) but is completely invisible against gray background. I still see the red line where the rectangle crosses objects like ribbon, but not against the background.

Tested in UCSF ChimeraX version: 1.2.dev202012200532 (2020-12-20)

Fixed.

Made the selection drag box always green against any background color. Where the box lines overlap a model the color will vary because the outline xors some color bits so that drawing it twice restores the original colors. This avoids having to redraw the entire scene as the box is dragged which can suffer from slow updating if the models render slowly.
