Bridge 12.0 causing images/thumbnails to flicker madly on the screen

After installing Bridge 12.0, when I access a folder of images (that have been culled originally from photo mechanic version 6), the images flicker like mad (including xmp files) on the screen (see file attached) making it unusable.

I reverted back to the previous edition of Bridge and the flickering/bug went but Adobe has now forced me to have the latest Bridge 12.0 and the problem has returned.

Please can I have some assistance from someone? I would normally just run off the old Bridge but it wont work unless it has the latest update.

I hope I can find help here. I am disspaointed that is no live chat or way of speaking specifically to someone from Adobe, like a helpdesk or chat.

Thank you in advance for any help.

Kind regards,

Jennifer

I wonder if some screening algorithm is in a superposition trying to decide on a censorship decision, causing this distracting "blinking" effect.

A year later the problem still persists. Different computers, different versions of Bridge. What now?

2024 and YES, Virginia - the BLINKING & jittery thumbnails & entire screen vibrating problem >>> STILL exists in BR 12.0.4.286. After trying the BR 13+ I've quit using any BR past the 12.0.4.286 because of the ULTRA BLOCKY & BOLD FONTS and lines SURROUNDING every aspect of the Panels ESPECIALLY in the Metadata Panel. Those BOLD BLOCKY LINES and Fonts not only take up space and are visually distracting but they also trigger optical migraines. (Note to users: many optical migraines don't cause pain nor do they always cause the 'wogglies' in vision. BUT, if you suddently see MISSING spots/areas in your vision field and then feel really tired... you might be getting one of those migraines.

Solution: Turn off the computer, take a nap & take up knitting instead of photography. In the long run knitting or some other form of productive time use results in something more useful (hats, gloves, sweaters, blankets or whatever you want) than digital stuff which ain't real anyway & is useless when the power goes off.)

Last month (Nov 2024) I spent 4 HOURS with Adobe as I worked my way up to a Supervisor who did get it fixed (for a week). He sync'd my PS 2022 & CamRaw & BR.

Today - the dratted app has gone back to pixellated thumbnails the blinks and the jitters. I HAVE NOT changed anything in this machine (altho we did get a Win11 update recently).

Guess its a good thing that all the early space probes to the outer reaches of the Universe used Fortran and not anything Adobe has produced or we'd never get 'clear' - 'blinkfree' return data Maybe someday in the future someone will A: Figure out how to make BR work without half the Tech Support folks on the planet trying (and not succeeding) or B: Someone will develop an alternative to BR.

Hmmmm. YEAH! B is the solution >>> knitting, pottery, jewelry making, furniture making, carpentry, gardening, fixing your car (the kind that still uses a carbureator or the kind without so many chips that it can't work if one fails), Plumbing. Yes - plumbing can be fun and rewarding, Bee Keeping, Sewing Viking age shoes, making pinhole cameras and re-learning how to write with a pencil, growing wool, spinning and weaving home grown cotton.... Etc.

ANYTHING other than using BR
