user interface ghosting

I don't know exactly how to describe my issue. If there is a setting that might fix, thank you in advance for the suggestion. As seen in the graphic, there is user interface graphics ghosting. Put differently, the view or folder that I navigated away from has ghosted elements remaining and overlaid on the correct items in the new file listing view (which are Name, Extension, Size, Modified, etc.) (a file listing follows but I didn't include those in the attached picture)
However the prior view was "My Computer" and you can see references to disks and connected networks drive ghosted across the Name, Extension, etc.
Thank you in advance for help! I love XYplorer but the ghosting is driving me crazy. Using the latest XYplorer.

Wow, I haven't seen this effect in a long time. It's related to a hiccup in the Windows graphics system. Usually a Windows reboot fixes it.

Interesting. I saw it when using XY on my virtual pc yesterday. I only use that "pc" once or twice a week and this was the first time I notice that issue. I finished what I was doing and shut it down. I'll be on the lookout for it the next time I boot it up.
My main pc is on 24/7 except for a once a week automatic restart. I have never seen this shadow/ghost on that pc.

Also experienced such a thing once, several days ago (no idea which beta was it), under W10. I think that I restarted XY and it never happened again. Did not even tried to recreate it, since absolutely no clue about the circumstances. Not of importance - I mention it just for the sake of "completeness".

Got somewhat similar graphical glitch with names of items being printed few times one upon another. BUT i got that only on sd-cards in laptop reader, so considered it's some old removables/cards fault.

If this started 20250112 I have a suspicion and it will be fixed in the next beta.
