Glitchy GUI. Buttons disappear.

Hi. I'm at a loss, and I've actually been using Vegas with this issue for a couple of months now because I need to work, but I've been unable to find a solution.

It's like playing peekaboo with buttons. Sometimes buttons appear when my cursor hits them, sometimes they appear. Sometimes they flash, or enlarge. I also noticed a significant drop in the efficiency of my preview, especially projects with transitions/keyframes, even on Draft (Quarter). This was not previously an issue.

I ended up dedicating an extra few thousand MB in dynamic ram, turning off thumbnails and basically turning absolutely everything into it's most basic, least intensive form. Glitching GUI only got worse, preview stuttering stayed about the same but rendering seemed to become faster.

I gave up, restored everything to default. Still an issue.

 

I've googled, and googled. I wondered if perhaps the update would fix. Nah.

 

Here's a video of said issue:

I think this is your problem, because for other tasks there is no RAM available.
Try setting it to 0 (my setting), because for previeweing I use Prerender

Does not work @fr0sty
In VPro 19 normal use is hold shift while clicking on "Options".

fwiw, I had a nearly identical problem and this fixed it for me.

This was already set to false sadly.

Shame, as all of the solutions in this were also already set.
