my two cents...
the best thing to do (as seems to be the case with so many new "features") is to just go back to the old method. i assign LM to CLASSICLAYER and call it a day. this is also nicer in my opinion because ESC actually closes the dialog rather than using auto-hide or docking it.
anyway, i just bought 85 new computers - Xeon quad cores with 8GB video RAM and an Autodesk certified video card (about a $2000 box) and i'm still getting users seeing this bug.
yeah, i've stripped the windows theme back to Classic and adjusted the system to "Best Performance", i just wanted to throw out that the "underpowered system" seems like a weak excuse. i should also mention here that the 85 computers used to be older optiplexes with non-certified video cards and AutoCAD 2008 ran like a champ. then we switched to 2011 and things just fell apart. that's when i convinced the company to spend 100k to upgrade everyone, and this is what i get. same old crap. sooooo frustrating.....
