What is the selected rectangle image supposed to be explaining to those of us not familiar with the unstated problem?

Try setting SELECTIONEFFECT=1 to see if that corrects the display.

Hi @Anonymous,

Try toggling off Hardware Acceleration to see if that changes the behavior.

Hi,

i suggest to Uncheck High Quality Geometry then Uncheck Smooth line display . and see if any changes, if not please disable hardware acceleration . if not fixed i think that you need to update to the latest video driver for your graphics card.

Exactly- so no customer service to be found online, just confusion, helplessness, frustration and sadness.
