Marquee causes screen to flicker and bdj lockup

Hi,
I'm guessing there is a hardware setting causing this, but each time I've tried using a Marquee, my screen flickers terrible, no marquee shows up and BDJ has to be restarted.
Any thoughts?
this is on a Win 10 laptop.

That's really weird.
I've never seen that happen.
Could you:

Turn on debug:
Configuration / Options / Global : Enable debugging.
Exit and Restart BallroomDJ
Start the player.
Turn on the marquee.
Close the player and all tabs.
Go to "Help -> Support" in the top menu.
Send a support message.
Afterwards, turn off debug:

replied via email - wasn't able to create the log file, guessing due to BDJ locking up the instant I click Options, Marquee. Sent a video link in the email showing the steps.

I found the problem, so this has been fixed in upcoming version 3.30.5.

I was able to duplicate the problem.
For the time being, you need to turn the "Configuration / Options / Marquee : Fullscreen" setting off.
After the marquee is displayed, you can double click in the marquee window to display it as fullscreen.

I still have to figure out why this is happening.
