Third-party Plugin windows empty

All Third Party plugin windows have no content, just black holes. It seems to be an issue with the new hardware GUI acceleration. After I have disabled this option, the GUI is showing the plugins correctly. Has anybody the same experience? Which hardware ( graphic card) is working with the acceleration correctly?

Please add your specs to your signature.

I can only guess that you're on macOS High Sierra, and your plug-ins (which ones? version#?) are either not up to date, and/or your hardware is not working properly with the Metal/Skia graphics framework.

Yes, I'm on Mac High Sierra, build end of 2012. All plugins, which I tested, had those GUI issues.

Im on High Sierra here as well. 10.13.6

1. Zero issues with WAVES 11
2. Zero issues with Izotope Nectar, Neutron, Ozone

**NON-Metal video card here as well, stock ATI Radeon HD 5770

Im NOT able to uncheck that Graphics acceleration box here BTW.

I would conclude that it is the graphics card in your system not jiving with version 5

Sorry for repetition: Which ones, which version#? And, AU or VST2 or VST3?
