[Opensim-dev] Viewer doesn't render attachments after teleport

[Jim Williams]

Are you sure this is just attachments?  I've been having to right-click on
certain objects after teleport for months now (in FS) under certain
circumstances.  This has been happening both in OSG and Metropolis.  The
problem usually happens if I jump again too soon after a teleport, and it
is usually the same prims each time -- though which prims may change over
time.  I haven't noticed this to be specific to HG, though I do tend to
double jump more when Hyperjumping.

Mostly, I've learned to wait a few seconds before jumping a second time.
