Hi @10293165,

In some cases, disabling hardware acceleration in SQL Management Studio can resolve graphical issues. You can disable hardware acceleration by going to Tools > Options > Environment > General > Visual Experience and unchecking the "Use hardware graphics acceleration if available" option.

If this does not work, please try installing the latest SSMS(19).
