Spike on ClamShell

jedware · 10-27-2008, 08:36 PM

I am seeing a white spike on the clamshell that appears to vary in height as it scrolls. I am not sure if this is a driver problem or some other artifact or related to the drawing of the white coral.

I have both nvidia and ATI graphic cards and see it on both. Attached is the screen shot of the area I am looking at.

I only see it when running two screens. - When set for one screen only, it disappears. - The white coral behind it is covered with those sort of artifacts when on two screens, but only after restarting MA3. - If you change from one screen to two, without restarting, the spike isn't there!

On mine it's always there.

I can't see it on my laptop screen - I'll take a look on my main machine when I get back home (currently having a miserable rainy night in Hartford, CT).
