Anti Theft breaks the UI of ESS

i have the ESS 6.0.308.0 in my Win 8 Pro 32bit desktop pc.

i activated the Anti Theft function just to see how it works.

the service worked great, after deactivating it, i noticed that the UI of the ESS lost its functionality. scroll bars, radio buttons and normal buttons got broken.

i performed a repair using the installer, and i rebooted my pc, but it didn't fix the issue.

at the end i removed the program and i reinstalled it from scratch.

now everything works great.

(see images)

 

Thank you for the information and for testing the uninstall/reinstall. I will forward this to our QA/Product/Development teams to look into.

 

the problem still occurs.
I just started my pc, and after checking the "About" window, I noticed that the scroll bar was replaced by a black line.

it's exactly what the pictures above show.

 

Please post here the information about installed modules (from the About window).

it happened again. could full screen applications, like games, could cause that?

ESS lost the ui all of a sudden. this time Anti Theft had nothing to do.

Probably a coincidence. Have you checked to see if there is a driver update for your graphics adapter? Are you running any non-default font sizes or custom themes?
