MicroStation Forum Best Practices

It is exactly what the original user posted.  I've seen it over the years and have forgotten how I fixed it in the past.  I think it's the driver version for the graphics card that I changed to fix it, but it's not working in my case now.  Also as your cursor moves over parts of the dialog box, and microstation highlights the part of the dialog box exactly underneath the cursor, it shows those individual parts correctly.  Close the dialog box and you have to do the same procedure over again.  I've only ever seen MicroStation have the issue, not word, excel, or any other program.  It also isn't Windows version specific or MicroStation version specific.
