I'm getting a garbled screen every time the graphics window in BRL-CAD tries to (re)draw (ie, a point is clicked somewhere in the screen, a primitive shape is added...). The graphics window remains blank (as in grey) even as I make spheres etc in the command window. A 'Z' to the graphics window (rotate the current model continuously will result in rapid regarbling of the screen.
The screen returns to normal when other windows (either the command window, or external programs' windows) are focused. This is my first time using it, and I'm proceeding through the manual ... though this sort of behaviour wasn't mentioned!

BRL-CAD is version 7.10.2. It's compiled from source.
I'm pretty sure that this sort of problem isn't going to be exclusive to BRL-CAD. Has anyone experienced this with any other graphics/design program? If so, how did you get around it?
