Can you confirm a few things for me: - What Operating System are you running? (It looks like some version of Windows, ya?) - What version of CAVE do you have installed? Thank you for providing pictures, those are helpful. Can you get it to happen consistently? ie. Could you provide us with a few steps that always seem to cause the problem for you, or is it not that consistent? Also, when the editor does become blank white, is there anything happening in the very bottom right of the CAVE window? That status bar is cut off in the images you sent. Thank you. --Shay Carter She/Her/Hers AWIPS Software Engineer NSF Unidata If you're interested, please feel free to fill out a survey about the support you receive: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeDIkdk8qUMgq8ZdM4jhP-ubJPUOr-mJMQgxInwoAWoV5QcOw/viewform Ticket Details =================== Ticket ID: RBT-231392 Department: Support AWIPS Priority: Normal Status: Open =================== NOTE: All email exchanges with NSF Unidata User Support are recorded in the Unidata inquiry tracking system and then made publicly available through the web.
