As the message implies, this is just a fallback catcher that I put into
the Window a little while ago. In Debug mode OpenSG tests the OpenGL
state for errors quite a lot, but that can have performance
implications, which is why it's not done in Opt mode. That it only
appears in some views indicates that it's a problem with the material of
one or a few objects.
OpenGL errors can most easily happen when you pass the wrong enum value
to one of the state setting functions. As there is only one enum type
for all functions, that can happen very quickly (do you need to use
GL_LINE, GL_LINES, GL_LINE_TOKEN or GL_LINE_BIT for turning on wireframe
in glPolygonMode?). The best way to catch this is to run your program
through an OpenGL logger that tests every OpenGL command for errors. I
use bugle on Linux, and there are a bunch of them for Windows like
glIntercept or glRemedy's gDebugger. That will show you the exact
command causing the problem, and with that either you can see it already
or I can give you a better idea of what's going wrong.
Hope it helps
Dirk
