P: Images not sharp unless I zoom in and out

if I go from one image to the next in the library or development module they often are not sharp unless I zoom in and out. It does not happen with every image but with a lot of them.

Funny enough the problem does not occur if I scroll through my images on LR 4 so it definitely has to do with the Classic CC version.

I am using MAC OS High Sierra version 10.13.4
Please help

I can confirm we currently have an issue open for this problem but I do not have an ETA for a fix.  I will bump it with the team.

Simon, can you or any other employee please take care of this and respond to this post. It is now 5 months ago that I posted this problem and nothing happened. This is extremely frustrating. Dec-21-2018

Simon, what is going on with this one ? Lots of people are complaining and you have obviously lost track of this issue. I expect Adobe to cure the bug as right now I am paying for a product that ain't work properly. I have waited for a long time now and honestly speaking my patience is coming to an end.

Same here! This issue has been around for a long time but no fix has been released despite all the user reports. Another update and still no fix to this issue is just nonsense. What’s the point of having a high megapixel camera and screen to look at low quality pixelated images all the time?!? I am so frustrated that I have started looking at other options. I’ve still got around 6 months left on my Adobe subscription but I am at the point where I no longer care. I just want what I am paying for... a software that actually works!

It is a new post of the old bug report (many threads existed) as "Lightroom Classic: Images not sharp unless I zoom in and out". Adobe says it is 'in progress' since months but still latest LR Classic 8.1 did not fix the issue:
Regardless of config settings, in Library and Slideshow modules the loupe view/fullscreen views show crappy images not rendered with full resolution instead showing lots of banding artefacts. Develop mode is working well (was not always the case).
This way, Library and Slideshow modules are completely useless. This issue exists since a few versions as the other threads mention. I don't want to repeat but still request fixing this issue.

still no fix in latest LR Classic 8.1 - the library module, slideshow are totally useless. Why should I view these crappy images on my large screen?

REALLY ANNOYING !!!
