I.e. it draws cube2 normally and highlights the other two. It only seems to
go wrong when all cubes are highlighted. Adding an extra one fixes it until
you also highlight that.

In some ways I think the orange-ish color, ugly as it may be, is better
for a highlighted solid object, to make the distinction between a
highlighted solid object and a highlighted empty space clearer.  But that
doesn't excuse changing the color displayed for an unrelated object!

No I didn't attach any images, just the CSG results, which explain why the
cubes in previous posts are the wrong colour. It seems to be a bug when all
items are highlighted.
