      Hi all, here at work we just encountered a glitch in Sketchup's behaviour. I'm posting it just to describe the problem and how I solved it.

      Modeling a staircase, Sketchup started doing this:

      Making it impossible to get the job done. Also, when I click on the blueish faces that appear on the outskirts, I get the face on the other side selected.

      This problem presented itself on two different machines with different graphic cards (nvidia and ati). Also, turning off open-gl acceleration was of no use. It seemed we had a corrupt file, then I tried one last thing: I opened a new Sketchup window and dragged the file on to the scene... problem solved!

      Don't ask me why.. I just know that now I don't have the problem anymore, I hope this news is useful to somebody πŸ˜„

        Huh....I use an emulated graphics card and don't have that problem.

        Cheers,
