Top-Left White box, Inventor 2020

petermtaylor — Thu, 12 Sep 2019 18:26:58 GMT

I'm seeing an odd Display bug with Inventor 2020.

In the top left corner of the Primary Display only, there is an always-on-top small white box. This is only present in inventor.

If changing the primary display in Windows 10, this little white box follows that display. It's only present in inventor.

There are occasionally two boxes, seemingly depending on whether the window has focus or not.

I've disabled the nVidia nView application, which adds a silly little button bar elsewhere in some apps. I don't think this is related, but it could be a clue.

Anyone seen this before?

@petermtaylor

This is the A360 account log in window. I haven't seen it in Inventor but it was in Vault due to 4K monitors or high resolutions.

And what you describe changing the primary display also happens..

Make sure you Inventor 2020.1 installed and you have the latest video driver as well.

Already had latest Inventor, but updated the licencing app. Attempted to update nVidia drivers, but that mysteriously failed without reason. Problem seems to have disappeared. Not really a smoking gun, and not a confidence inspiring solution.

Accepting as solution, since it feels like the correct answer, and your confidence in it is high. I'll come back and update if it re-occurs.

Thanks for the help y'alls!

No, that looks like very different symptoms. Thanks though!

Sorry my problem is the white box at the left top part of the screen. As I start Inventor everything is ok, but after a while the white box appears I haven't figured yet what triggers it. Some times if I close some parts then it disappears.
