The view only updates when I then click in it, or change the slice plane.

I am able to replicate this on windows, but it does not occur on linux or mac. I think what is really happening is that the render window is not being refreshed correctly -- something to do with the popup slice view controller.

This may be a duplicate of 2793.

One way to see if this is an issue with the popup would be to try switching the volumes using the View Controllers module. For me this works every time, while the popup sometimes does not.

The popup does change the other slice views when the slice views are linked, so I think that theory is correct. The popups never work for me in the same slice view; always requires to click in the window to update.

This is a severe usability bug. Users should not have to guess how to do something basic like changing the volume selection.

I agree with Isaiah. @Julien - will you be able to work on this before the 4.3 release?

Do you confirm it is a Windows only problem ?

I believe that yes it is a windows only problem. I think that the refresh/redraw of the render windows is not working right with the popups on windows. It seems like the same issue as 0002793 or at least similar.

I used a linux build this morning and did not notice this problem, although I wasn't specifically looking for it.

Confirmed that this does not happen on linux.

Definitely not fixed - I tried with a fresh rebuild of VTK and slicer on one machine and a download of the 2013-08-16 nightly and got the same redraw problems.
