Hmmm let's see - that was for some driver that sent back colors in reverse byte order than expected. A little bit later I added in a readback test done at startup to detect this situation automatically but it can be manually turned on by adding in an entry in moi.ini under the [View] section:

[View]
TextureReadbackSwapRB=y

If it doesn't help remove that line again.

There is one other thing I can try, there is a variation in how readback works when on Mac OpenGL. I'll make a test version to send to you that uses that method for Wine/Windows OpenGL as well and see if that does any good.

That broke selection completely. I believe it's a positive sign that we're on the right track as to the root cause.

Thanks for all your help!

Addendum: Creating an annotation under Direct3D manifests the same text rendering corruption as a the rest of the text in the viewport.

Problem solved! Thanks Michael for all your help. The absolute gold standard of excellence.
