SSMS 18.0 redraw issues when switching between multiple query windows
SSMS 18.0 redraw issues when switching between multiple query windows
Repro:
1. Open SSMS
2. Open a new query window and enter and execute a command, such as:
SELECT @@SPID;
- Open a second query window
- Using your mouse, switch back and forth between the two open query windows by clicking on their tabs.
- After several clicks (five to ten?), the content of the first window (query and result pane) may appear to be displayed in the second window, but you can't interact with any of the text.
- Switching back and forth a few more times may clear up the issue temporarily.
- The same issue may carry over to additional query windows which are opened, after switching between the various windows several times.

shared this idea
This issue was fixed (or better, mitigated) in SSMS 18.5
As you can see, SSMS will automatically prevent the Visual Studio Shell from using the h/w acceleration.
While I hear that for some of you this workaround did not help, it seems that for the vast majority of the people here it was beneficial, so the workaround has been baked into SSMS 18.5.
Thanks,

AMD FirePro W4100 on a Dell desktop, four monitors.
This happens on every desktop on our development department. Not all use the AMD FireProW4100, but they're all Dell Inspiron desktops between 2 and 5 years old. -

Turning off "Use hardware graphics acceleration if available" fixes this issue. It can be found under Tools > Options > Environment > General.

NVDIA Quadro P600, Also note that I went back to version 17.9. I lost too much work switching between windows and the window did not refresh, or closing a window(tab) and it not refreshing and never showed closed. Version 17.9 works fine.

Perhaps uncheck 'Use hardware graphics acceleration if available' by default in the next version of SSMS as a temporarily fix? I agree with some this bug could pose a threat to your data. Please fix asap.

Turning off "Use hardware graphics acceleration if available" resolved the issue for me. The fact that I had to do that, however, when it was working just fine in 17.x makes Microsoft QA look really REALLY sloppy. Impressions like this matter! Please fix this!

Turning off “Use hardware graphics acceleration if available” seems to have solved the issue for now, better than the alt+tab workaround

Disabling graphics acceleration worked for me too! So glad I found that suggestion here.
