Dimensions

BufLakeGuy
When doing dimensions I only get a box above the dim line.
I have read many posts on this forum on this issue.  However, none of the fixes work.
I recently downloaded LibreCAD.  I am using  version 2.2.0.2
I am NOT in Draft mode!
I saved my drawing then closed the program.  I reopened the program and my drawing.  
The dimensions were magically shown above the dim lines.  
I can Zoom In/Out/Previous/Auto/Window and the dimension numbers continue to be shown.
However, when I Zoom/Pan, all the dimensions turn into boxes again.
Help Please.

I have no answer why you get just a box when doing a dimension line.
But after Zoom/Pan hit Escape or click right mouse button to finish the command and the dimension numbers will return.

Thanks for the timely reply.
Unfortunately, hitting the ESC after panning doesn't restore the dimensions.  Still have empty boxes above the dim lines
PS - I am not using a mouse, just the finger pad on my laptop.

actually, there is a small optimization for text/mtext drawing - during panning, a rect is drawn instead of text (even in non-draft mode).

Dimension contains text, so that logic affects text too.

However, it's really strange that after completing pan the text is not redrawn properly (btw, try hit F5 for force redraw?)

Also, instead of using 2.2.0.2, you can try to use fresher version, even dev snapshots are quite stable (like https://github.com/LibreCAD/LibreCAD/releases/tag/2.2.2_alpha-latest)
