Lightroom 2015.7+: Panels and filmstrip black when switching to Develop
Not sure if this is the right place for a bug report, if not could anyone direct me to the right place please.
Clicking develop module at top right from the Library module opens the photo with film strip and both side bars black empty spaces. Initial few times I had to quit and restart Lightroom but then discovered switching to grid view again and develop keyboard short cut, everything comes back.

Since the last CC update to LR 2015.8 I keep getting a random problem. All of a sudden the side panels and bottom row of images, plus top panel vanish. They don't hide, it's not a show and hide issue. They simply go black.
Not sure if it's a random key press that I've been doing - but I'm pretty sure it's not. I've tried show and hide to get them back - but they aren't actually hidden. They are just blank. Only way to return them, is to restart LR.
Screenshot attached.
I have a colleague reporting exactly the same issue on his setup.
I'm on an iMac 2015 5k retina. AMD Radeon R9 M395 2048 MB

After the latest update, I accidentally sometimes hit the wrong keystroke and suddenly only my image is showing and the rest of the screen is black. It becomes non-functional. Nothing will bring back the side, top, or bottom bars except restarting LR. What is happening? Another bug?

Bug is known and seems to have spread like wild fire recently. Many people complaining. Sometimes a simple click on a slider in the dev module makes the panels go black.
It's a real annoyance and Adobe is on the case

Without this information, it's difficult to consider whether it is worth risking a rollback to an earlier version.
I am disappointed that this issue made it past QC and am finding the wait for a fix rather excessive. Why, if we can't have a proper fix, has no hotfix been issued?

Lightroom main window and panels, apart from lower browser went blank and unrecoverable. Had to force quit - not good. No memory shortages, 40GB installed sierra 10.12.2.
