There are some issues with boxes in Visual 4. But it's irrelevant,
because Visual 5 is different in this area with its emphasis on material
properties; there is no shininess attribute.
The last large known problem in Visual 5 (poor performance on Linux) was
fixed today. The remaining list of known bugs is now very short, and I
think a release of Visual 5 is imminent. We're calling the upcoming
release "5" instead of "4" to emphasize that 4 never made it out of
beta, and as previously announced the new version has some syntax that
is incompatible with 4.
