Installed, confirmed no change in this behavior. Real bummer.

I'll give that a go, although someone already has on the lightroom discussion thread on this - no difference.

Would you be willing to install the public RC of Lightroom 4.3 and see if the problem still occurs? Lightroom 4.3 Public RC can be downloaded from labs.adobe.com.

In my case, the navigator is also always open - just tried opened/closed makes no difference. Seems to affect some images more than others, possibly to do with different dimensions and scaling when zoomed?

On the primary monitor, where you are in Develop, do you have the Navigator panel showing? If the Navigator is collapsed or hidden, try showing it and expanding the panel. I was able to reproduce the fuzzy behavior mentioned here, but only when the Navigator wasn't showing. I'm curious if this is the same issue you are seeing or not.

Thanks,

I would like to point out that there appears to be a blurry-causing bug on 4.2 that may be related to this, which is currently filed over here.

For me, the issue occurs on portrait-oriented photos, on the filmstrip AND secondary monitor, ONLY in develop mode. 100% reproducible. For the filmstrip, it only occurs when the item is active. If you then move to another portrait image, both thumbnails remain blurry. If you move to a landscape, the portrait thumbnails return to being sharp. Simultaneously, as the portrait image is rendered on the secondary display, it begins sharp and then turns blurry, with its thumbnail turning blurry at the same time.

The below image shows the phenomenon occurring on the filmstrip. Windows 7x64, ATI Radeon 5870 GPU, 16GB RAM, Intel Core i7 2600K, 256GB SSD, LR 4.2.

To reproduce, attach a second monitor and enable the Loupe (Normal) view on the Seconday Display. Then, enter Develop mode for a raw-format photograph. After adjusting the Shadows slider, observe that the loupe is blurry/pixelated until a manual zoom operation is performed on the loupe.

Those same steps yield the expected result in LR 4.1 (no blurry badness), but not in LR 4.2.

I'm on OS X 10.6.x, however this has been reported by users in many different OS configurations.
