The default lighting option changed in recent builds, from "two-side" to "single side" : beside being faster, it also allows to see when surfaces are not oriented correctly.

You can restore "two-side" lighting in Options->Color->Use two-side lighting.

Adaptive visualization can indeed change the orientation of the mesh: we will fix this.

These colors are then preserved when I save the plot to a file (say png). Could you please fix this. Thank you.
