Display problem grasshopper preview in rhino

Hello,
aaah this drives me crazy! I have a problem with Grasshopper and the preview in Rhino. I didn't find sth in the discussions. I work with Rhino 5 and GH 08.0066. If I activate for example any element in rhino that is next to the previewed GH stuff it fully appears but without it looks like the one beneath. Has someone an idea? Thanks for any help!

OK, just to make sure, I updated Rhino5 to the latest on my laptop.

Also running Win7 x64.

ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5850 (old Catalyst due to Acer crap.)

... everyting is fine there. So it might be a driver problem. Sebastian, can you post your system specs, please.

Yeah it looks pretty funny, rotating in the perspective viewport! :) nice sections^^

well here are my system specs:

Win7 x64
Intel i7 920 2.67GHz
6.0GB Tripple Channel
Motherboard Asus P6T DELUXE V2
GeForce GTX 275 with 1792 MB (newest driver)

latest rhino 5 and GH update

Probably old, but still happening sometimes.
As David said, this usually happens when erroneously and inadvertently there is a geometry very far from the origin somewhere. Even if it is not displayed, it seems that the computed bounding box is extremely big, so as objects are cut beforehand.

It happened several times to me. Disable all components and previews and re-enable them progressively to catch the guilty one.

After Rhino5 started acting weird on me (viewports freezing in OpenGL mode, dialog content shifted 90% out of the forms canvas on the first draw call,...), I can now confirm that a simple uninstall/reinstall cycle doesn't fix the GH problem.

Hardware probably isn't the problem. Only thing that is consistent is the "i7" part of the CPU name.

rest of my specs:

intel i7-2600K @ 4,2GHz

ASRock P67 Extreme Gen3

16Gig Dual-Channel-RAM

Hi everyone, I just wanted to share my 'exploding gumball' experience:

Whilst pushing kangaroo to the limit, [manipulating meshes with random vectors and springs from lines], i have pushed the engine a little too far, causing the mesh to explode/disintegrate/disappear to infinity -- sometimes when this happens, my rhino gumball disappears, or sometimes just loses its arrowheads, and whatever geometry i have in my view-port glitches in and out of visibility during a rotate or something. This has happened a few times, if saved, it seems to corrupt the file, to recover the geometry i will export or copy it into a new file, this has occurred on various computers running various hardware setups [i5-6series with quadro, i7-7700k w 1050ti]

for me it is not really a problem, i love the software, and understand that it will have some limitations etc.. cheers aki
