Content Library frequently goes blank

Hi everyone,

I have a frustrating issue where the Content Library will go blank for minutes at a time so I can't load any objects, poses, textures, lights etc until they reappear.

This happens completely randomly, from one minute to the next in the middle of a session, and seems to revert randomly as well. Clicking Refresh does not seem to help - doing so yields nothing for several minutes, so I can't tell if the reversion is due to my clicking Refresh or just the inherent randomness of the problem.

Anyone seen this issue? I've searched the Forum but can't find anything on it.

To be clear, it's just the files that won't appear - the folder structure remains (but is empty). It happens very frequently, let's say once an hour, and typically lasts for 5-10 minutes. VERY annoying...

Thanks,

P

    I have seen this behaviour sometimes myself. It only seems to happen in the Content Library pane, and the icons in the lower part of the pane disappear.

    Normally, if I move my mouse down into that area, and move it around, it all comes back (in seconds). I don't think Refresh helps in this situation. I imagined it to be a video card driver problem, but I don't want to update my drivers at the moment, so I put up with it. It only happens maybe once a week for a few seconds.

    I don't think it is a bug as such, more a display problem with some graphics cards, mine is an NVidia. See if waggling the mouse around in the icons panel helps. I usually move to another menu option just to make sure that it has to refresh itself, then do it.

    Yep is a known Glitch in the Viewport. And I also fix it by just moving my pointer in the pane.

    I have gotten into the habit of just clicking the bottom pane every single time I see it's empty to force it to draw my content thumbnails. Very annoying, agreed, but at least one can still work. Similarly, I never ever delete a seemingly "empty" content folder unless I have clicked in the empty space to verify it is really empty and not just invisible.
