Bug with Layers - Rhino 8

I have been getting some strange behavior working with Layers in Rhino 8. At times, when I try to turn layers on/off it won’t update. The same happens sometimes when I try to move a layer. The way I have found to get the layer window to update correctly is to close out of the file and re-open. A few times this bug seems to have caused my rhino to crash as well.

Running latest SR 8.3

Hello- the first thing I would try is to block the Vrayand Karamba plug-is in Options > Plug-ins page, then close and restart Rhino - is that any better?

Rhino 8.5 is supposed to be out tonight (Seattle time). You might try updating to that . Also your Nvidia driver is coming up on a year old. Probably has nothing to do with this issue, but you might want to update that as well.

Great, thanks! I’ll give both of those a try.
