After updating from version 3.6, every time I use the mouse scroll wheel or just click on the sidebar, the page goes completely blank. I can sometimes zoom in & back out to see text & images, but that works only about 10% of the time. No other problems observed on my stable system. 100% Secunia PSI system score.

Hi, John:

Good suggestion, but didn't make any difference. However, I downloaded & re-installed the same Nvidia drivers, & after rebooting, at least for now the problem has gone away. No idea what was happening, & I've owned a computer consulting business for almost 30 years. I'll post again if the problem returns.

Thanks! Ken
