Band-in-a-Box version 2017, build 462 on i3 cpu Dell laptop with 8K ram, Intel HD graphics & Win 7 Home.
Pressing the Alt key located on each side of the space bar will cause much of the graphics on a pop-up screen to go blank. Much, but not all, of the graphics can be restored by pressing and holding left mouse button while moving the mouse pointer around the pop-up screen.
I first noticed this bug with build 454 of 2017 and can duplicate at will.
Thanks for your feedback, hopefully more users will tell their experience.
One more tidbit that might help, when the program focus is on the main (chord sheet) screen pressing either Alt key indents the "File" menu button and underlines are drawn under the "E" of Edit, "O" of Options, "P" of Play, "l" of melody, "t" of Soloist, "A" of Audio, "m" of Harmony, "d" of Window and "H" of Help indicating possible shortcut key combinations.
Perhaps the program is anticipating a shortcut combination, rewrites the pop-up screen but the rewrite doesn't work because pop-ups don't have shortcuts. Just a thought.
Below is are examples with the audio settings pop-up.
I hope others will verify if they do, or do not have have this issue. I just tested with build 463 and the issue still exists.
To summarize, pressing either Alt button will cause much of the Preferences pop-up windows to go blank. Below are screenshots of normal and after Alt pressed with the Leadsheet options window open.
Jim, I just loaded the public release 463, and cannot duplicate this problem.
[Yes, the Alt key should bring up the underscored letters that allow a keyboard shortcut for menu items. This is a very old Windows standard and has been the case in BIAB for decades.]

Are you saying you are holding the ALT when you click a drop down with the mouse? Cause that causes some issues here, but that would not surprize me? Why are you doing that?

Hi Dan,
I use the PrntScr button to capture screenshots.
For Windows 7 press just the PrntScr button to capture a screenshot of your complete display including the taskbar on the bottom of the screen or you can press Alt + PrntScr to capture a screenshot of just the active window.
Both of these options use to work with Band-in-a-Box but I've been unable to capture a screenshot of just the active window since updating to 2017.
Matt and Mario, Thanks to both of you for taking time to try and duplicate the issue.
