I have a script that sends selected contours to another glyph (the meat is in throwButtonCallback).

When I run the script, it leaves some ghost "selection" behind until I click glyph view again. I've seen this happen before other times, but this is the most reproducible.

I've tried g.selectedContours = () and g.changed() to no avail. Any reason this would be happening? Thanks!

Version 3.5b (build 2007102200)

Ok I got some breadcrumbs from @frankrolf, and found the solution:

The contour needs to be deselected before it's removed.

c.selected = False
g.removeContour(c)
g.changed()

noted down for future RF version to auto deselect on removeContour :)

thanks!
