Hi Michael,

I guess I was still clicking on the button, not the viewport.. I'm still a little confused, though..it seems that it forces you to do an invert hide
before you can get out of the command, which isn't typical of a hide button
The other thing I noticed is that if you open a file that has hidden objects and go right to the hide button to unhide them and then you double click in the viewport,
you get the close dialog box, to save changes, discard changes or cancel. Is it normal? Maybe I've messed something up in my ini file...it's quite possible!
