Thanks for the heads up, Anssi. Much appreciated.  
I assume that it’s because Lenovo has kept with their old practice of not supporting OpenGL through its docks.  
I haven’t tried plugging the external monitors directly into a HDMI or display port.  
But I sure will give it a try first thing tomorrow, when I’m back at the office.

I just found out, that we’re not alone having this issue…
