Summary0005372: Orthoview brushes sometimes display as black
DescriptionI have the Black & Green color scheme for the orthoview grid, slightly modified. Black bg, grey grid, light green brushes, orange entities, so on. Two times now, I have started the program and opened a map only to have the "brushes" color (and only them) be "reset" to black. I put "reset" in scare quotes because I can't be sure, but I am guessing it reverts to the black of the default color scheme.
Steps To ReproduceI don't know how to reproduce this one reliably. A program restart fixes it.

I can force this to happen when trying to drag a brush immediately after the orthoview is shown. Usually there is short lag in the application after startup before it accepts the newly drawn brush.
The reason is that the brush colour helper is executed during the app's idle phase, which might be just a tad to late in some scenarios. If worldspawn brushes are to be rendered before that idle event kicks in, you get the default worldspawn brush colour, which is black, as defined in its entityDef.

I can see if I can move that colour handling code to a more appropriate place which doesn't rely on the app's idle event.
