LinearDimension.GetTextRectangle beeing weird on generated dims

It seems that GetTextRectangle behaves differently with “generated” dimensions than with the ones “selected” from the model.

The third test (“spooked”) kind of “refresh” the object table (I guess). How could I emulate that without user interaction ?

Tested on Rhino 6 SR35 & 7 SR28

import rhinoscriptsyntax as rs 
import Rhino 
import scriptcontext 
from scriptcontext import doc 
import Rhino.Geometry as rg 


def main() : 
    
    generated()
    selected()
    spooked()

def FindAndGet(dimId, mode):
    dimObj = doc.Objects.Find(dimId).Geometry
    print(mode, dimObj.GetTextRectangle())


def generated():
    dim = rg.LinearDimension(rg.Plane.WorldXY, rg.Point2d(0,0), rg.Point2d(100,0), rg.Point2d(50,0))
    dimId = doc.Objects.Add(dim)
    
    FindAndGet(dimId, "generated")


def selected():
    dimId = rs.GetObject()
    
    FindAndGet(dimId, "selected")

def spooked():
    dim = rg.LinearDimension(rg.Plane.WorldXY, rg.Point2d(0,0), rg.Point2d(100,0), rg.Point2d(50,0))
    dimId = doc.Objects.Add(dim)
    rs.GetObject("don't, just press escape")
    
    FindAndGet(dimId, "spooked")
    
main()

result :

Cheers !
