I’ve noticed that when I use a higher refresh rate than 60hz on my monitor (set through either the Nvidia control panel or Windows itself), the Scrivener application exhibits very noticeable screen tearing: A visible line runs from left to right on the upper half of the screen whenever I scroll through text, merging two rows as you go along). Is there an option in the program to fix this, or is this a known issue?
This is, of course, simply an aesthetic bug, and doesn’t interfere with any software functions. Nevertheless, it doesn’t look pretty.
Yes, everything is up to date.
Do I NEED more than 60hz? No. But I have my monitor set to a refresh rate of 85hz because it is more comfortable for my viewing experience (everything moves and feels smoother). This is basically a pure comfort and aesthetic complaint. I just think the tearing is ugly and changing the refresh rate of my monitor for a single program is annoying.
So, if there is a way to fix this by myself with an option in the software it would be nice, but it’s not a must of course and it doesn’t interfere with my writing. I just feel visual issues like this make the software appear cheap on first impression, so I thought I should mention it.
Other than that, I am very happy with the experience so far (I’m currently using the 30-day trial version).
