Rhino 8 Graphics Bug: vertical glitch lines

Hi there,

This is the second project where this issue has occurred. It might be Rhino, my system, or my graphics card. I was working in perspective, then it jumped to parallel, and with these vertical artefacts. I cannot get it back to perspective whatever way I try.
In the attached image and Video below, it was stuck in parallel and wouldnt change, and there’s ghosting when zooming out/in.
I tried restarting Rhino, and tried to do the same thing (copying a block along a curve), and the exact same thing happened.

Hi Jeremy -

The current version is Rhino 8.23. Could you update to that to ensure that you are still seeing the behavior after that?

I have updated to 8.23, but because I kept working, I couldnt 1’ for 1 replicate the original issue. I will report back if it occurs for a 3rd time
