P: Panels and filmstrip black when switching to Develop

Not sure if this is the right place for a bug report, if not could anyone direct me to the right place please.

Clicking develop module at top right from the Library module opens the photo with film strip and both side bars black empty spaces. Initial few times I had to quit and restart Lightroom but then discovered switching to grid view again and develop keyboard short cut, everything comes back.

About a dozen or so posts above Victoria Bampton provides info about how to roll back to a previous version of Lightroom.  I rolled back to 2015.6.1 and (knock wood) haven't had any recurrences. More recent updates might also work.  I just decided to play it safe.....

Since the last CC update to LR 2015.8 I keep getting a random problem. All of a sudden the side panels and bottom row of images, plus top panel vanish. They don't hide, it's not a show and hide issue. They simply go black. 
Not sure if it's a random key press that I've been doing - but I'm pretty sure it's not. I've tried show and hide to get them back - but they aren't actually hidden. They are just blank. Only way to return them, is to restart LR. 

Screenshot attached. 

I have a colleague reporting exactly the same issue on his setup. 

I'm on an iMac 2015 5k retina. AMD Radeon R9 M395 2048 MB

I do wish someone from adobe would chime in, such a frustration. It's happening on both my machines here.

This is the behavior many of us have been experiencing.  Victoria Bampton (https://www.lightroomqueen.com/) reported earlier in this thread that Adobe is working on a fix.

I am on a Mac running El Capitan. I have the latest version of Lightroom CC. In the Library Module, when I click on a picture both my side panels disappear. The only way to get them back is to minimize LR and open it up again but as soon as I click on another thumbnail both side panels disappear again. If I shut down LR and restart it things are fine for a time but then the problem returns.  Does anyone know what is going on?

Thanks.  I'll have to try that.  I was using the roll back "feature" available in the CC app itself.
