Summary0000734: Early stages of construction causes rendering of random lines
DescriptionWhenever anything is built, Spring renders randomly colored lines stretching the width of the screen. Black lines seem to be somewhat more common than other colors.

Such an event consists of about ten lines originating from the center of the screen, and anywhere from zero to twenty from other locations. A rarer occurrence is several lines from a different location on the screen, usually that of the thing being built. Occasionally a group of three to seven parallel lines of the same color are rendered. There are never fewer than about four lines.

The lines change once per frame, as far as I can tell. Changing game speed has no effect. The events last until the unit is about one-third done.
Steps To ReproduceBuild anything. Period.
Additional InformationScreenshots attached to give you an idea of what it looks like.

Also, I'm somewhat of a noob. I would be completely unsurprised if this turned out to be my video card or something.

Did you have LuaUI on? If so, does it still happen with LuaUI off?

Does it happen with every mod? (excluding those with different build animations)
Try XTA and BA for example.

Are the lines fixed, or do they jump around randomly? Or does their position depend on the camera position maybe?

@tvo:
I do have LuaUI on. The lines remain when LUA is disabled.

It does happen with every mod (at the very least, BA, XTA, and Expand and Exterminate), although it behaved quite differently in Expand. Namely, the events became far less common (only twice out of twenty buildings built), and they looked different (many dashed, different-color parallel lines, and a few random solid lines).

The lines jump around randomly. No two sets of lines are the same, even if the camera is moved.

@imbaczek:
I actually am running an ATI graphics card (an onboard x1250, I think).

This looks like the same bug as 0000638
