[BUG-85] Some prims flash on Second Life 3.4.0 (264227) (Project Viewer - Pathfinding)

[sl-service-account]

This is something I first noticed after Firestorm merged up to the 3.4.0 codebase. It did not happen on the 3.3.3 codebase. I can reproduce this issue on Second Life 3.4.0 (264227) Aug 31 2012 12:19:16 (Project Viewer - Pathfinding)

(Will update further when Ive tested on normal V3 Release, Beta and dev builds)

Certain prims randomly flash on the affected viewer. Possibly its only prims with hover text that updates. Affected prims do not always flash, it comes and goes and I cant pinpoint a trigger yet - in short, its a ***** to reproduce

Steps to reproduce:

• I have placed a prim with hover text that repros this well at this location http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Veil%20of%20Shadows/86/47/35 Its free to copy.
• Leave it rezzed somewhere where you spend a lot of time.

• Hopefully you will see it flashing eventually.

  Apologies for the vague report on this one. Here is a video showing this behaviour on the Pathfinding project viewer. http://youtu.be/yiw0eA1eDMg?hd=1

I was able to see this at Whirly's location the 3rd time I went there.

Adding some extra info: This looks to only affect objects containing scripts that use a timer. I was doing some testing with Loki for BUG-223 and he verified he also saw the flashing issue in objects containing scripts using timers only.

Loki has a goblin rezzed here http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Escapades/182/86/41 The white (non pathfinding) goblin ontop of the wall. It reproduces this flashing. We think this maybe the same issue as reported here.

If you turn on show updated to objects so you see any updates appear then you flashing happens?
