Blacked out context menus

Unread post by weamish » 2018-07-12, 11:59

This is a new one - all the drop-down and right-click context menus are blacked out in PM. No problem in other browsers. Any idea what might be causing this? Thanks! ...Steve

Do you see the same behaviour in safe mode?

Not sure how to get into safe mode without being able to see the drop-down menus. Incidentally, the scroll bars are also missing.

Just restarted PM and the problem is gone. That was a weird one...

Maybe you were in the early stages of an Out Of Memory related issue.
(As in if you had continued on, you may have hung, completely, or even crashed.)

Do you happen to know your memory usage when this happened?

About 35% of the 16G RAM was in use, of which PM accounted for 1.5G
