Description

The following bug report has been submitted:
Platform:        Windows-10-10.0.22631
ChimeraX Version: 1.7.1 (2024-01-23 01:58:08 UTC)
Description
On my Windows machine I regularly notice this weird behaviour that occurs if I have a ChimeraX session open when I plug my laptop into an external display - the graphics window develops weird glitches as if some frames are being displayed out of order. Probably notably, if I use "movie record" to try to capture the effect it goes away, only to come back when I stop recording. If I unplug from the external display it also seems fine. The session that the attached video comes from was actually started while plugged into the external display (resolution 3840 x 2160), and was working fine. When I unplugged to show the session on my laptop display (1920 x 1080) everything was still fine - but when I plugged back into the large display (using it as the sole display) is when things went wonky. If I open my laptop so the displays are tiled then the glitch also goes away (regardless of which screen it is shown on).

It seems like this has to be a problem with your graphics driver, possibly in conjunction with your laptop hardware.

OpenGL version: 3.3.0 NVIDIA 529.19
OpenGL renderer: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Laptop GPU/PCIe/SSE2

The movie recording saves images to an off-screen framebuffer, so it is probably immune to things going wrong on the screen, and that probably explains why movies record correctly.

I see your Nvidia driver is from Oct 31, 2023. Did you have this problem on older drivers? The current driver on the nvidia drivers web site for 3070 notebook is

GeForce Game Ready Driver
Version: 551.23 WHQL
Release Date: 2024.1.24
Operating System: Windows 10 64-bit, Windows 11

I'm not suggesting you try it since who knows what new driver bugs you will have. But is the only avenue to fix the glitches you see.
