Grid thumbnails disappear after 1/2 second

Sep 7, 2007 10:06 AM

I have an odd problem on my laptop: the thumbnails in the main window of the grid initially display but after a short period (maybe 1/2 second) they disappear - what I see then is tiles with the image number and file name plus the borders but the rest is gray. If I scroll or PgUp/PgDn or change the thumbnail size the new photos that come into view have thumbnails briefly, then they disappear too. Loupe, develop, navigator preview, Compare view, Survey view,and filmstrip all work normally, it is only the grid thumbnails that are odd.

Additional information: if I press the J key to cycle through the different types of grid display I find that the problem only occurs in the "expanded cells" mode and only when the full info is toggled on.

I have LR1.1 and I have the latest video driver (Mobile Intel 945 Express chipset version 6.14.10.4859). The problem also occurred with LR 1.0 before the upgrade. The laptop is Toshiba Portege M400 with 1GB RAM, the processor is Intel T2400 18.3GHz. Windows XP sp2.

Any ideas?

That seems similar to, but not exactly the same as, the problem I've been having for the past 2 weeks on only one of my 2 computers: metamatt, "missing text / thumbnails / many Lightroom UI elements disappeared" #, 18 Aug 2007 3:08 pm. I too find that the problem in Grid view depends on the view options I've selected, but for me, the thumbnails are either always present or always missing, for given view options -- they don't appear then disappear.

I just installed 1.2 and the same problem occurs on my laptop as before, yet I see this issue is among the bug fixes listed on http://inside-lightroom.com/ (it says "Lightroom 1.1 for Windows could at times display gray boxes instead of image thumbnails")

What I am seeing suggests it is not fixed - or is this bug fix for some other problem?

I checked this article and it offers 3 solutions.

1. Upgrade to 1.2 - I already did this and reported previously it does not fix my problem.

2. Change to a non-WCS monitor profile (Vista only) - I am using XP so does not apply (but see below)

3. Remove monitor profile. My machine did not have any monitor profile assigned.

In view of #2 I tried setting AdobeRGB1998 but that did not help. I am still having the problem.
