It's very easy to reproduce for me, I just have the info overlay displayed, and switch between pictures. It also happen when I switch to Develop/Library mode.
I would say it happens maybe 20% of time when I flip to a picture.
I can reproduce it when the window isn't maximized as well.
I'd like to underline that Lightroom is the only program on my machine that has those visual artifacts, from what I can see. Everything else runs fine.
Nearly very time I have seen this it has been a video driver issue. NVidia seems to be particularly susceptible to conflicts. Sometimes reverting back a driver will make the issue go away. I run NVidia cards and the problems seems to come and go with driver updates.
I asked about I-tunes because I see seemingly random issues with I-tunes from time to time. So much so that it has become my default initial test.
Lightroom has a way of exposing video card and monitor profile issues. Often you see the problems in Lightroom first. It is a pretty good canary for Video/Profile/Ram and Harddrive failures.
There are tons of similar report in the U2U forums about similar artifacts. In many/most of them the solution is to updat ethe Logitech wireless mouse driver (SetPoint).
Since installing LR4
when using either LR3, LR4.1 or LR 4.1RC there are often screen artefacts near the top of the screen. Main screen and second screen.
They seem to be related to the Info for the photo. If I switch photos and come back they are gone.
Sometimes, usually when I switch from Library to Develop mode, a visual defect manifests itself. I have to force the LR window to repaint to get rid of it.
I run the latest LR on Windows 7 Ultimate/64 in dual-monitor configuration, NVIDIA G470 card. One monitor is rotated to portrait.
If you look closer you'll see that the LR-supplied text (filename, lens/camera model) on an affected area lacks Cleartext (antialiasing) effect.
Thanks,
Kirill
P.S. I'm sorry for a somewhat offensive photo used for an illustration :-) It wasn't intentional.

I've seen stuff like this, but it's rare for me, and I can never get it to repeat.
