@Kunda1 Sorry to ignore the yellow banner. The info as following. One thing I need to say is that I use the Windows 10 as a guest OS virtualized by VirtualBox on a Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.x.

For the portable version(FreeCAD-0.18.16110.f7dccfa-WIN-x64-portable.7z), I also encounter the same problem.

@wmayer sorry to bother, but you run windows (although not in a virtual machine). Any ideas ?

I would say this is a graphic driver problem. Is there a chance to use another driver within the VM or maybe use the native graphic card of the host OS?

But the easier thing would be to run FreeCAD natively on Linux. Also for RedHat all ingredients should be available.

@ALE_Xor are you using a virtual machine as well ?

@wmayer Maybe you are right. My colleague test the same package under Win10 physical machine, and it is all right. It is possibly a graphic driver problem. It is better to solve this issue for virtual machine case.

In case it is the graphic driver then it's not up to us to fix it. We must rely on having a native or virtual machine with a properly working configuration.
