magnifying glass tool shows weird facetted-effect

Dear community,

 

for quite some time now a real weird behaviour of the magnifying glass is annoying me both in Bridge 2024 and 2025. When viewing small images (i.e. 640x400px) it shows a strange facetted-effect.

I used Bridge CS6 before - there the magnifying-glass-window was always filled completely with the selected magnification as shown below.
Is that a bug in 2024/2025? Do I have some presets wrong? What can be done to have the correct rendering?

It's reeeeally annoying when using it for detail research on several images.

 

(CS6 was running on macOS El Capitan. Now I am using Bridge 2024 with macOS Monterey 12.7.6 and also tried Bridge 2025 with a clean install of macOS Sonoma 14.7.2. - Unfortunately both are showing the same effect.)

Thank you for your response. This is really annoying in daily work.

There is another thing about the magnifying glass I posted some minutes ago, too: - it is extremely bumpy and laggy in Bridge 2024 / 2025 compared to fluently working in Bridge CS6 on ElCapitan -> 'magnifying-glass-tool-bumpy-and-laggy'

In Bridge go to Adobe Bridge 2025 or 2024>Settings>Advanced, check Use Software Rendering and see if that makes a difference.

Thanks Jeff. Unfortunately that leads to another strange behaviour already posted here -> 'magnifying-glass-tool-screws-up'

It seems as if that's a bug of the magnifying glass both in Bridge 2024 and 2025!

Do you experience the same effect when viewing small images (i.e. 640x400px)?

Could anything be done about that?
