There is no error.
I updated video card driver. Same problem.
I used the standard windows 10 display driver. Same problem.
It only happens on this window. All other windows show good.

Reboot does not help. I have tried that last night.
If I delete the .layout file should I have to restart PF ? If yes I 'll try that late at night.
I am running the latest beta v1.0.1.42
It started a few days ago but I can't remember if I did something before.

I 'll do it later this night because now I have a number of streaming listeners and I don't want to disconnect them.

This looks like you are running out of widows handles or have a graphics issue.
AS if PF can not paint a certain area anymore, it typically indicates, that some resources are exhausted and the OS is unable to paint that area or that any other graphics issue is happening.
It looks, like there is not much to do from my side, if there is no error message or exception?

And a reboot also did not help? What version are you using?
If not the latest v4.0.1.42-beta you might try this one.

You might also try to reset/delete your "ProppFrexx ONAIR.layout" file to see, if this one is causing the issue, ...

... but it is a bit puzzling, as I can not reproduce that here at all. I also just checked with some other users and there the overlay also displays just fine!
Since when did this issue happen and what have you done before this issue occurred?

You always need to stop/close PF first - then delete the .layout file - and then restart PF.

Is it okay again after you deleted the .layout file?

It wasn't my system's problem.
I deleted the .layout file and it worked !
