It's not an image rendering issue or anything like that. It's a portion of the window filled by a copy of something else on the display. I even see it on simple table displays. http://www-metdat.llnl.gov/cgi-pub/metdat/dev/do_reports.pl?REPORT_LLNL_1_ACT_BARO_PRES=1&barunits=mb&dewunits=C&REPORT_LLNL_1_INC_SOL_RAD=1&REPORT_LLNL_2_PK_WND_GUST=1&windgustunits=ms&REPORT_LLNL_1_PRECIP=1&precipunits=inches&REPORT_LLNL_1_REL_HUM=1&REPORT_LLNL_2_TEMPERATURE=1&tempunits=C&REPORT_LLNL_2_WND_DIR=1&winddirunits=degrees&REPORT_LLNL_2_WND_SPD=1&windspeedunits=ms&startMonth=11&startDay=16&startYear=2008&endMonth=11&endDay=17&endYear=2008&datesearch=Generate+Report+with+These+Values I see it on both my laptop and my desktop systems and, even if I click STOP before any artifacts are shown, they still start to appear and continue to get worse until the display is unreadable. -- R.
