Occasionally I encounter an object, usually a single rock or tree (on rare occasions a creature, such as goblin or minotaur), with this strange texture. I can return later, even just walk away a few minutes, and the object appears normally ...though another object in the scene may now look this way. Is this a "normal" game glitch or is there some setting I can tweak, in the game or in vid drivers, to eliminate this curiosity?

Seems like the engine is highlighting the object as if you're targeting it.

I get that all the time. Pushing a weak video card too far. The instructions the game hands it are partly ignored and the display turns into a best guess which is often wrong.

Not likely a weak vid card - using a 2gig GTX950 installed last November.

Going to *guess* here: foggy weather and the rock in question is in an adjacent cell (assuming your character is standing on or close to the edge of the current cell). I used to get a similar effect in Morrowind once in a while.

It only happens in fog conditions...the normal maps can have some issues with fog it seems.

Thanks for all the input, sounds like this is just a quirk of the graphics engine; since it doesn't affect gameplay, other than being distracting, I can live with it (as opposed to those instances when the game forgets to load entire sections of landscape and the only cure is save/exit/reload).
Not sure what is meant with "...highlighting the object as if you're targeting it"; I've never seen Oblivion highlight anything, whether I was looking at it, aiming at it, or talking to it.

You should see the delightful fritzing up of the display in FO4 when it starts to rain with my video card and set up. Just ignore the massive groups of gray pixels all over the distant LOD. They go away when the rain stops.
