We are experiencing the corruption, too! The three of us use Macs with FrameMaker 19 running on a virtual PC – and we were hoping it was just a stability issue, since we will be moving to PCs soon. The video driver is a good idea – we’ll check that.

    Hello Framers,
    
    In all the years I have used FrameMaker [since 3.0], I have rarely seen
    FrameMaker get into the state that I am currently experiencing at my
    customer site.
    
    I took a screenshot the first time it occurred.
    
    While editing a number of documents for extended periods - maybe over 6
    hours - all the fonts in the document suddenly mutate to the Windows
    "System" font, as shown in the first screenshot.
    [image: FM odd.gif]
    
    After that occurs, the FrameMaker menu goes completely blank, and any
    attempt to access any of the menus - such as File > Exit yields an entirely
    black menu being shown, and no menu functions available.  The only way to
    quit FrameMaker is to force quit the process using Windows Task Manager.
    
    
    The same behaviour happened again this morning, but instead of showing the
    document content, it looks like Windows is painting part of the corrupted
    display as it overlapped the book pane, and the document pane.
    
    [image: Another odd session.gif]
    
    The customer machines are well specified - 32Gb of system memory, running
    on Windows 10.
    
    Have any other FrameUsers experienced similar display issues?

    Hi
    the latest patch for Frame 2017  is 14.0.4.511
    
    Maybe this might help.

    I would check that the machine's video drivers are up to date too.
    
    Can you recreate it on your own machines, not the customers?
