Most likely an OpenGL problem there. I'd suggest upgrading your graphics card drivers (if not already the latest version) or if you just have upgraded them then downgrading. I personally faced some strange problems with Ati's Catalyst 3.10 and LW. With 3.9 everything works like a breeze.

I hope you reported the bugs you noticed to ATi using their feedback form (http://apps.ati.com/driverfeedback/index.asp) :)

I've heard of one other person having difficulties with NVidia's latest drivers.

Para:
Sure did. 3.10 also caused my card to overheat strangely. :surprised

I've heard three occasions now (mine's one) with problems with catalyst 3.10 and LW. They can be anything from mouse screwing the OpenGL viewports to not seeing the viewports at all.

I've been having a similar problem lately in modeler. I go to full screen mode and all I get is gray. Then if I go back to regular mode it's fine and then go back to full screen then it's fine. It's kind of annoying and I thought I just updated my driver lately so perhaps I should try again.

I'm using 3.10:s at the moment (because of GLSL support) and I can confirm that too; the mouse pointer seems to leave a trail of somesort. 3.9 worked fine, though.
