Hi,
I had this issue while running FG on an AMD graphics card, you can do a Debug --> Cycle GUI, and make sure ALS is off (View --> Rendering options).

Kind Regards,
Josh

The issue here is caused by the font somehow. Since I prefer the default GUI style I went for another solution, replacing the font. To do so alter file $FG_ROOT/gui/style/anthrax.xml [1], line 14.

Before:
Code: Select all
<name type="string">HELVETICA_12</name>


After:
Code: Select all
<name type="string">AvantGarde-Demi.txf</name>

Josh is exactly right, I have a AMD R7-M260, and this is one of the issues I get, Sadly there is no way around or fix for the issue, except for cycle GUI, This will "cure" the problem, I find that I can use ALS because I don't get the problem back, Well maybe the odd slow flicker but I can still read all text. Hope my input helps

Is antialiasing on in the launcher? I find that the problem goes away when I turn it off.

The problem seems to be a weird resource management issue by the driver, and it usually gets better whenever you reduce the load the graphics card has to process, it gets worse when you increase it. There doesn't seem to be 'the' particular thing that causes it.

Will the problem be resolved in the new version of the software?

If the analysis is correct, we can't resolve it, we can only ease it - some work on the ATI/AMD experience has been done by Richard, but don't expect miracles.
