Make sure you do not have any exotic drivers installed on your machine.

@mwestphal , it’s happening only if the ribbon filter of the stream tracer is activated.

Is there a way the conflicting drivers can be nailed ? How do we check !

Can you reproduce on another computer or only on one computer ?

Tried on a machine, with bare metal OS installed, with no exotic drivers.

There was some **nvindex** warning for non matching CUDA version due to old graphics driver update it to 10.2 as per warning.

**Steps** :

- Load PVSM, point to comb\*.xyz,\*.q
- Switch on the Ribbon within Stream\_Tracer

Interact with the model [rotate, zoom, pan].

Tried on a machine that has WSL with Ubuntu20.04, that has openfoam + pv 5.6  
similar trends.
