Short description of error

Performing a PP Read does not redraw the pivot point until the viewport is moved or another redraw happens.

See the attached screen capture for details:

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error

Open a new blend file
Turn on the PDT add-on in Preferences
Use the default cube, enter the Edit Mode, using Tab
With all faces selected by default, press X to delete "Only Edges and Faces"
Select two vertices on top left of the cube
Open PDT tab on the Side Bar on right
Move down to PDT Pivot Point tab
Set the Show, Factor = 10, Width=5, Alpha=1
Press the button 'Selection' to move Pivot Point (PP) to the middle position between two selected vertices.
Press button 'PP Write' and confirm the operation
Check the Custom Properties of the "Cube" object, you should see a property named "PDT_PP_LOC" with the matrix for the recorded location.
Select a different vertex of the cube
Press button 'Selection' again to move PP cursor to this newly selected vertex
Now perform PP Read by pressing on that button
You can observe that the PP cursor doesn't appeared to move
Move the mouse and click anywhere in the 3D Viewport. Until now you will see that PP cursor is moved back to wrote position.

Expected
The viewport should be updated immediately after "PP Read" is performed to reflect the PP cursor actual location. New users like me left wondering what have I done when the PP cursor stayed in the same position and not moved back to the original location when "PP Write" was performed.

Personally I would call "PP Read" as "Save PP Location" and "PP Write" as "Restore PP Location".

Hoang Duy Tran changed title from ~~PDT Pivot Point operation, PP Write and PP Read~~ to PDT Pivot Point operation, PP Write and PP Read. PP Read doesn't appear to update 3D Viewport to reflect actual PP location.
