Hi tk36957754,
Look, I can totally empathize with your issue as many others have made the same complaint. So you are not alone. I do not work for Adobe and cannot talk for them (and they would not tell me anything anyway). I do not know when this will be resolved.
Please keep in mind that I always use Bridge and was on Catalina before I went to Big Sur and at no time did I ever see what you describe. However, this might also be because my workflow is different. I never press the space bar to see a larger version of my image, I see it in the Preview Panel. IMHO, I think Adobe really screwed up the default workspace. I think they wanted to show all of the Panels they had but ignored the aspect of how one might best use the contents of these Panels.
What I did was to move the Content Panel all by itself on the right side and moved the Preview Panel all by itself in the middle. Then on the left, I have Favorites, Folder Metadata on top and then Filter, Collections, Export, Workflow, and Keywords on the bottom. What this provides me is that I can go from thumbnail to thumbnail by arrow keys and in the middle, in a much larger size (than the space Adobe provides for the Preview), is the image. If you like this, please immediately save it as a new Workspace.
Now look, I know this is not what you want, the fixing of the program. But no one knows when that will happen. In the meantime, you gotta get your work done. Please try this approach and let me know if it works for you. I'm curious if this provides a temporary solution for you until Bridge gets fixed.
With computers you often have two approaches: get the job done or get the job done the way you want to get the job done. If this works for you then at least you have the option.
I just came across this issue on my new MacBook Pro (16" 2021) OS Monterey. Every time I moved to a lighter or darker image, the gray background in preview would flicker and change its luminance. Like a bad dissolve transition that dropped frames. Oddly, this is the first time I have even noticed it. I did however possibly fixed it, at least for my settings (see photos). I also use filmstrip that had an odd setting that was not changed by me at any point. My content tab was showing up like a folder that held the images horizontally as well as vertically. Rather than moving down the large strip left to right the content tab showed ~18 images in multiple rows rather than a continuous column. I fixed this by selecting output then Filmstrip to "reset" the settings. Like I said, this worked for me though I can see by this thread that it has been and still is an issue for many people. Let me know if this worked for you.
