Another thing I forgot to mention - there seems to be significant
z-fighting happening between the selected (pink) point and the actual
(white) point. That is, when I interact with the object (for example
rotate), if I stop the interaction, about half of the time the point
will be pink and the other half it will be white. This causes
significant confusion because there is no way to know if the point is
actually selected. Is anyone else having this type of issue lately?

Thanks,
