VP17/18 -- Scopes UI "flashing"?

fifonik wrote on 11/8/2019, 11:45 PM

Does anyone noticed scope's UI "flashing"?

Scopes docked top left with Projects media & Co and option Updated scopes while playing is turned ON.

So when I play media on time line, scopes UI is a bit flashing. It is noticeable on labels inside the UI ("Waveforms", "Spectroscope") and on graphs themselves. I'm not talking about the scopes itself, but the canvas where the scopes shown. It looks like the canvas sizes are slightly changing. Especially noticeable on the right and bottom edges (as on picture):

Demo:

In VP15 the labels are also flashing, but the canvas not changing its size.

Anyone confirm?

I can confirm this slight "flashing". More I am bothered by the flashing between transport and status bar in the preview window.

Got reply from Magix that they were not able to reproduce the issue.

Can anyone else see it?

The issue is in build 421 as well.

Magix could find it and only one person confirmed it here.

Just curious, is the issue somehow connected to my setup only or other people just do not care about so tiny UI glitch?

It would be nice if someone else check and report. Thanks.

@fifonik I tested watching playback of the 4K Benchmarking project. I saw what would be the tiniest glitch/flash maybe 1/1000 th. of what you are getting on external monitor.. I ran test on my laptop screen, saw nothing amiss, but the imperceptible flash was on the connected 27" Dell monitor, maybe I should remove the dust from the laptop screen?

So it's there ok, but I'd never know if you didn't mention it, really is a 1/1000 th. of what you have. So it's so tiny it would never bother me, good spot though.

VP18 still have the issue. My CDO is unhappy :(

VP19 build 424 still have the issue. 2+ years passed since it was introduced :)

Fun fact: I still see the issue in VP22 and I bet it is in VP23 as well :-P

The scopes were partially reworked in 23- do test if you get a chance.

Thanks for the info.
I'm waiting for the next patch/build then I will install trial and check it out.

I can't say I see any flashing of the V23 scopes.

The minor flashing occurs in both VP22 and VP23 on my laptop with a less than 2K screen ... but there's no flashing at all in either VP22 or VP23 on my desktop's 4K monitor.
