SVC-3754 Avatar position instability after crouch-moving

Relates

This issue is related to by:

~~VWR-3262~~ AV moves and loses attachments when you hold mouse button and crouch key

~~VWR-5840~~ Avatar Invisible On Arrival at Orientation Island

Description

« Hide

Steps to reproduce:

1. Hold C to crouch, and continue holding.
2. Tap S to nudge yourself backwards an inch.

This is a buggy thing from a while back, and your avatar should start jittering back and forth and appear increasingly further away. If your avatar stops jittering, repeat steps 1 and 2.

3. Keep holding C until your nametag disappears.
4. Release C.

Result: Your avatar and nametag are invisible to you AND to others using the First Look Windlight viewer.

You may create a cube and sit to make your avatar visible again once you are finished freaking out other users.

Also worth noting that toggling Object-Object Occlusion has no effect and thus this effect is seemingly not related to VWR-3162

Replacing the bmp with a jpg attachment.

Pretty much a duplicate of VWR-1433, but I won't close it because it relates especially to this problem being worse in windlight.

Just in case it's not clear, the avatar is still invisible to FL: Windlight users after you stop crouching and walk around. Users who weren't using FL: Windlight could still see the avatar.

This happened to my friend. Teleporting didn't fix the problem for her. She had to relog.

This issue was resolved as "Needs More Info" during our batch cleanup because it was set as affecting First Look: WindLight. On the Issue Tracker, we've noticed many duplicate issues and issues that lacked actionable info or were already fixed.

WindLight recently "graduated" from a "First Look" technology preview to Release Candidate status – nearing inclusion in the main viewer with your help! So, "First Look: WindLight" does not exist anymore.

More info and how to download the RC viewer: http://blog.secondlife.com/2008/03/06/new-release-candidate-viewer-1191-rc0-available/

If you've verified that this issue is still a problem in the newest Release Candidate, here's what to do next:

(1) Search the Issue Tracker to make sure it isn't a duplicate of an existing issue we know about. If it is, link it as a duplicate using the "Link this issue..." link on the left. You can learn more about searching by watching this video tutorial: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SAlXK5hSVMc

(2) Reopen the issue and BE SURE to update the "Affects Version/s" to the correct one, most likely ONLY "1.19.1 Release Candidate". However, if this bug affects the main viewer (1.19.0 as of this writing), then DO NOT set it to an RC version. Only set it to 1.19.0 instead. Be as specific with versions as possible – there's generally no need to set multiple versions, as it tends to dilute and confuse where a bug originated.

(3) Add any other relevant details that would help us fix it. We can't stress the importance of a "solid repro" enough – a reliable series of steps to make a bug happen reliably.

(4) Come and attend our inworld bug triages, where you can meet with Linden Lab employees to look at, verify, and expedite bugs for fixing. More info @ http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Bug_triage

Thank-you for helping us improve Second Life!
