• Fixed an issue where the prior NEX soft selection preview would flash on the screen for a moment just after completing a transform.

• Fixed an issue where a duplicate extrude node was created after using the left-click Extrude Dialog

• Fixed drawing issues by completely rewriting OpenGL drawing code. Numerous issues are resolved, including but not limited to: viewport jittering, manipulator and component highlighting problems, and selection marquee ghosting. NEX should no longer need any driver setting changes for nVidia or ATi/AMD video cards. Tested on various GeForce cards, Quadro cards, and an AMD Radeon HD 6870 using default driver settings and NEX works perfectly.
