When I select a drop down menu - Feedback, say, the drop down flickers in and out of visibility as I move down the menu. I can select an item, even though I can't see it, but it is hard to use menus I'm not familiar with. Same thing happens in the address bar with the drop down address 'help' - the bar constantly flickers in and out, and, in this case, when I attempt to use the drop down, the menu items disappear just as my mouse approaches them, then reappear as the mouse moves to the next item.

I have tried this with all addons (I don't have many) disabled. I have tried the nightly build. Nothing has fixed this problem so far.

Too bad, since I'm definitely liking the speed and the new look.

I would consider this a showstopper. I'm amazed that it hasn't been reported before.

Solved. After browsing through the forum, I found the solution. I have an Nvidia graphics card, and disabling hardware acceleration did the trick.

Disabling hardware acceleration is not an option for me, i still have the problem. Ever since the most recent update, i have this issue.

The solution is to disable hardware acceleration: Tools->Options->Advanced. And de-select “use hardware acceleration where available”

I have an nvidia card too and I run game booster which turns off windows aero. With game booster running and windows aero off with ff hardware acceleration on it messed up. But with windows aero on it worked fine OR with hardware acceleration off when windows aero was off it worked fine.
