Moving Vertices bugsplat

[wozabee]

Hi guys,
I've just noticed 2 very odd things happening on my sketchup 8 the last few days.
Every time I go to move a vertice, it Bugsplats. Tried swithching off the "Pre-icck on Push-Pull tool" option, same thing.
First noticed it on a large model, so rebooted, made a simple cube, and much the same thing happens on that.

I have a good many .rb's installed, but until now have had no bug-splat troubles like this (consider yourself VERY lucky Woz).

I'm on windows 7, 32 bit and a crankingly good (recently re-installed) system.
Anyone have any thought on this?

The other small (but REAAALLY annoying) bug also appeared where pressing almost any key racks the object/view slightly upwards. I though it might be my 3Dconnexion Spacenavigator, but disconnecting it entirely has no effect. Also, started removing plugins going back from most recently installed, but no instant fixes or conflicts noticed there. No idea if these probs two may be related, but they've only materialised these past few days.

Does this ring a bell for anybody?

Cheers,

Woz

I haven't seen either problem before but I would be inclined to point my finger at a plugin. Rather than removing plugins one at a time, you might try renaming the Plugins folder to something like Old Plugins. Make a new Plugins folder and copy the original plugins into it. You can pick them by date I think. Then if you don't have any problems, pick half of the ones in the old folder and copy them into the new one. Keep going in halves until it happens again. You'll know when it does it was likely the last batch you put in or a conflict between one in the last batch and a previously inserted plugin. There's aren't many plugins causing conflicts these days so it's probably not a conflict per se.

I suppose another thing to play with is the OpenGL settings to see if they make any difference.

It might be a plugin clash, and until you've tested as Dave suggests we won't know... but I can't envisage any 3rd party code that might do this - so I suspect it's a Sketchup/OpenGL/graphics-card issue - have you tried reinstalling/repairing Sketchup ?
