(Vegas 22) Video Preview Won't Display "Grid" or "Safe Area"

Vegas 22 (paid version) with most recent patch, Nvidia 4070 Super with driver 595.97, Windows 11

As per the title, at some point in the last few months the "Grid" and "Safe Area" functions have stopped working for my Video Preview: it won't even display the small sphere next to it indicating it's been selected. The red/green/grayscale overlays DO function properly, and clicking the overlay on and off makes no difference. I'm not sure if there's a setting I changed, if a Vegas patch or Nvidia driver broke something, or what else could be prevent these features from working; any ideas?

@Internal_Revenue Have a look in Preferences & see what settings you have.

I don't know what you mean about 'small sphere', there is no sphere when the grid or any of the other options are selected.
