Weird Name Block Out Bug thing

Hey ya'll.

Recently I've noticed in weird moments that people's names are blocked out by a large almost "transparency" in the screen so that only part of the name shows up. It's like that person's name is being blurred out by a transparent prim or something but isn't really. Anyone noticed this lately?

I remember that effect. I think it might be controlled by local lighting, IIRC. At least, that's what happened to me pre-1.1 until I turned it off in favor of increased FPS.

I submitted this as a bug on 11/5. For me it was caused by "Glows Around Lights" on my GeForce FX.

Red "tracking" pillars block people's names for me.

Try turning off glows around lights in your preferences. I have experienced this bug, and submitted it, since beta. (assuming it is the same bug).
