Problem
On some systems, there are GUI glitches occurring in Cubase 13 / Nuendo 13. These show up as white UI areas, elements rendered out-of-place or flickering (e.g., in SuperVision, Groove Agent SE, or the Project Window when scrolling).
Solution
This has been fixed in Cubase 13.0.21. Please update your Cubase installation via the Steinberg Download Assistant or the download pages.
Just in case the fix should not work for you, please follow these workaround instructions, which describe how to create a dedicated program or game profile for Cubase in the NVIDIA resp. AMD settings.
