I can confirm this. Even if a rectangle outline is drawn, normal drawing 
means it is not strange colors. More importantly, if double-buffering is on, 
the rectangle does not blink, which IMHO makes it better even if it is a 
dozen times slower. All our code has stopped using xor or overlay hardware 
(like on Irix) and draws selections in the back buffer. Graphics are easily 
fast enough to support this today.
