Hi,
Running the latest version of XD on MacOs Catilina on MacBook Pro. I have been experiencing this problem for a while now over several version.
Bug details:
When using XD the canvas / editing area suddenly starts flashing red and becomes unusable. When mouse movement stops canvas becomes solid red.
Have to completely restart XD to fix the problem, unsaved work often lost [UPDATE:] with autosave to the cloud occassionally unsaved work seems to be lost - think this could be due to the app being restarted before it's had a chance to send (/save) latest changes to the cloud.
Please see the attached video for an example.
Please fix.........
Thanks
Liam
Hi All,

Hi,
Please see the info screens below. Operating system (and assuming graphics drivers as macOs) are upto date.
It happens on a variety of files - more often when:
Feels like it could be a resource issue as often will have a problem with a file then it'll be fine for a while then it'll happen again. At this time other programs continue to operate fine without being impacted so seems to be contained to XD.
Hope this helps
Thanks

Thanks for sharing the info, Liam. Would you mind sharing a sample file and generate the logs using this link; https://helpx.adobe.com/in/creative-cloud/kb/cc-log-collector.html and upload it to a shared location such as Creative Cloud app or Dropbox and share the URL with me over a private message so that I can log a bug for your issue? Are you using any external monitor?

Hi there,
Sorry to hear about the trouble. Could you please confirm if you use an external monitor along with the primary screen? If yes, I'd recommend testing it without the additional external monitor and let us know how it goes.

I do use an external monitor.
Next time it happens (all too frequently now) i will unplug the monitor and see if the effect continues on the laptop screen (i'm pretty sure that it does). I suspect that this may be a memory (leak?) issue, see other/next post
Thanks

[Update]
Had this happen with 2 small, pretty simple files open and suspect that this could be a memory (leak?) problem as when inspected machine resources via Activity Monitor it reports that XD is consuming an excessive amount of memory.
The memory usage continued to rise even when nothing was being done in XD (could see it flashing red in the background)
Please please please fix......

I have been getting the same red flickering screens since the last couple of updates. I am on the latest version of Adobe XD V31.2.12 and I am using a MacBook Pro without any external monitors. This is really annoying. Please help.
