When launching the new 2027 version on my laptop the new document window breaks up as I move the mouse around the window. Black bands of noise flicker on and off in the selection window as the curser moves. This is the first version of Sketchup that has exhibited this visual breakup.

I assume you are referring to the “Welcome to SketchUp…” window that appears at startup. This, along with flickering black in other windows, has been reported, and the staff is working on it.

Good to know the experts are on the case. I’ll wait to see what happens. Thanks.
