      Selecting an area gives the selected area this (default blue) hatch. Working in Architectural Style or the Default Style the selected-area hatch doesn't appear. I tried other Styles but a single time using a Sketchy Style the hatch re-appeared. Switching back to Architectural the hatch stayed for the first several selected areas and then disappeared again.
      Selecting an area works, because when clicking an area and then delete it is gone. But this is about the hatch that indicates I selected an area.
      Can someone help me out please?

        Check View > Face style settings. Some of the styles are set to display faces in monochrome or hidden line mode where textures are not displayed.

        Change the settings to your liking and update the style in your model to keep these changes.

          I experienced this 'missing hatching' on a Dell Latitude with an integrated graphics card. Not a suitable machine for modelling. But if I went to Window>Preferences>OpenGL and disabled hardware acceleration it solved the problem.

          That's not to say this is your solution but if your machine isn't meeting the requirements it can display such glitches.

            That seems to be working. My selected-area-hatching is back.
            Thanks a lot, you too Gaieus, I checked but face style was set to blue.
