For me it is updating the 3D view when I focus the 3D view window
after moving a footprint in the default renderer. But if I use OpenGL
then it does not update properly. Every second time the coordinate
origin axis is misplaced in a corner, even when I have it disabled and
then next time it is gone as it should be.
