After Effects 2018 version 15.0.0. Camera issues: Strange pink, triangular shapes...

I have having major issues with my camera in the 2018 version of After Effects.

I don't have time for this, or even time to write all this down, but I have no choice, since Adobe support is utterly worthless.  We are forced to rely on each other.  So here's my problem. 

... So, does ANYBODY have ANY idea what these ridiculous, pinkish-salmon colored, triangular shapes are?!  They appear whenever I add a camera to my comps and switch to more than one view.  As you can see, active camera is normal, but all other camera angles are completely obscured by these stupid triangular, shapes!  I have used AE for many years, and have used 3D layers and cameras for just as long, and I have never seen these before.  I thought the issue could be related to ELEMENT 3D which I am currently using, but they appear even when ELEMENT 3D is not being used.  Perhaps this is just some new feature that I don't know about, but either way it's a gigantic pain in the arse right now, since I am trying to get a project finished and I can't see anything that I need to be able to see in order to do any work!  So again, does anyone have any idea what these are, and if so, how to get rid of them?  I haven't tried any uninstalling or reinstalling of the program, but I am hoping that I don't need to because I am on a major deadline! If anyone can help or is having this problem, PLEASE respond to this!

Correct answer Mylenium

You have some sort of rendering issue in the GPU accelerated functions, so the usual applies: Check your graphics driver and update it, play with the settings for the comp viewer and the preferences. also check whether it actually occurs on more regularly sized comps or only your towel strip.

I'd also recommend this: screw AE 2018 and go with 2017.  Wait for at LEAST one major bug fix before you bite on it. 

Right now you're just an unwitting participant in the Adobe Unpaid Beta Tester Program.
