[Opensim-users] Physics Issue with 0.6.6

[Len Brown]

Ditto.  I noticed this as well.  At least, my personal "opinion" at
witnessing this action with spheres was "the texture must not be rolling
along with the sphere."  I actually thought it was a stationary texture
issue, but of course, I know nothing about the physics engine.  So FWIW as
well, I too noticed this characteristic...
