No needless, endless and cumbersome roundtrips to visualization. (And if you need the visualization you are forced to keep two ‘tracks’ in sync by duplicate workspaces, one colorized and one visualized). /BK

I _do_ think it time (to) consuming…  
For me, still one of the most irritating functional downgrade I encountered.

(Last week I tried to make some enhancement to my working environment by making material by default transparent (in visualization) but that failed.)
