[bug] selection / cursor artefacts on the timeline

Foo-Bar wrote on 12/25/2022, 3:02 PM

When I make corrections to my selection on the timeline, it often shows artefacts / remains of the previous selection.

See image.

I make a selection, extend it a bit to the left and / or right and then you see "ghosting" of the previous selection state.

Any idea how to fix this?

System / drivers is brand new, up to date.

Vegas Pro 19 (latest build, but also happens in the build before).

Yeah, that's the exact same problem.

I don't have Nvidia drivers, 'though (as suggested in the solutions); it's an Intel iGPU.

My old pc - 20 years old - worked without problem.

No I've got a brand new, multi-thousand dollar system, for editing only and I've this problem...

SoundForge (13 Pro) doesn't show the lines, but Vegas Pro 19 does.

Can't install Vegas 20 as a trial, because I've done that before and now I've to buy it (no problem, but I want to be sure if the problem is still there).

The other users report issues with even older editions of Vegas, 'though.

I already updated the video-drivers (iGPU is brand new - CPU is about 4 months on the market now).

Fresh / clean install of W11, all up to date.

It looks very random per edition, user, system and version...

Changing DPI settings, markers, grid spacing, etc... doesn't solve it at my end.

Note to my future self;

No solution yet, but some findings.

  • Managed to install V20 at a VM, has exact the same issues - no need to pay for another license.
  • Hitting F8 (toggle snap) does removes the artefacts temporarily (it forces to redraw the screen).
  • Set the grid to 1 second or frame and enable snap > every time a 'snap' occures, the screen is redrawn and the artefacts disapear as well.
  • Moving the boundaries of a selection triggers the artefacts. Edit those boundaries not from the top (the little yellow triangles), but lower (halfway the vertical boundary line) does produce less artefacts.
  • Artefacts will be heavier when the opaque / translucent area is visible, e.g. when a masterbus is active below the event timeline (blueish square).
  • Updating all relevant drivers to the newest (and even bèta) on the market, doesn't make difference.
  • My 20y old $ 300,- PC works better than my 3 months old $ 3.500,- equivalent.

Bug is still there, I even bought a brand new dedicated videocard for this issue (NVIDA studio drivers), but it remains.

Both Intel iGPU 770 and NVIDIA triggers the issue, which makes editing almost impossible.

I did spend about $ 3.000,- for this bug (brand new system and brand new card) but it's still there.
