How to "redraw" an entity faster.

Summary

Why is it that the "grips" status of entities is updated when a refresh is performed but the hightlight property is not? Refreshes are alot faster than redraws and it is a pain to have to perform redraw just to remove the highlight. Invalidating an entity is also very slow.

   FIG.Update
   VDPro1.DrawEntity FIG, 1
