I am studying T-SQL and usually have Kindle and SSMS on my screen at the same time. Sometimes I run into these kind of broken fonts on SSMS, and SSMS only. You can see that on the picture I attached. As soon as I move my cursor to that row, it fixes my itself. My computer is only six months old and have i7 but only 8 gb of ram. I installed SSMS about 3 months ago. When I study, I only run these two programs. It seems like my memory runs at about 50% most times. I do not have this issue with any other programs so I don't think it is my computer. Does anyone know what's causing this and how to fix it?
Thank you,
I am not sure that I see anything disturbing, but what you could try is Tools->Options->Environment->General and uncheck "Use hardware acceleration if available". I have it unchecked and I seem to recall it was to avoid some graphics problem I ran into.
Thank you for reaching out to help! No it is not a major issue. It just annoys me once a while. I just wanted to find out what's causing it especially if it is SSMS related. I just checked that Option. That box is not checked. Again thank you for your help!
Hi @GH ,
You can try to disable the "Automatically adjust visual experience" option, and then you can disable the "Use hardware graphics acceleration if available" option. SSMS> Tools > Options >Environment >General
By the way, are you using the latest version of SSMS 18.7.1? If not, suggest you using it, you can get it from here.
Best regards,
Cathy

Hello, Cathy!
Thank you for reaching out to help! I do not have those boxes checked. Currently I am using v18.6 that I downloaded in August I believe. SSMS's been telling me that there is an update available and takes me to an blank page. Maybe I will try again. Thanks again.
