Kevin,
The good news is that your fix seems to work. The only side-effect of
removing the auto-select lines is that if you load vectors from the
command line they will not be automatically drawn on any surfaces. For
example
nviz e=dem v=contours
will draw the raster but not the vector.
The bad news is that in testing the fix I uncovered more problems with
the vector drawing routines. The problem I discovered was if you select
more than one vector and try and draw them on different surfaces (ie.
one vector on one surface and one vector on another). What I found was
that the second vector selected drew on both surfaces, not just the
surface that it was selected to draw on. This may be a TCL error or and
internal nviz error.
