Allegro 23.1 with HF 006 Graphic Issues on Latest VMware Workstation Pro

Question

Folks, 
 Is anybody else operating the latest Allegro on VMware Workstation Pro VM and getting the "occasionally disappearing" layout? It always comes back in, but one needs to click outside the window or pull down another fly-out menu item to get the screen contents to re-appear. The 3Dx option opens fine, but there is no PCB present when it is present in the older 3D Mapper window. Is this just a "thing" with virtual machine graphic drivers?

What operating system are you running in your VM? I can give you a few things to try: 
 1. Disable accelerate 3D graphics in VMware display setup 
 2. setenv noopenglgraphics 1 in .cshrc file 
 3. Set disable opengl in ENV file 
 4. Use allegro -safe -noopengl to launch the tool However, due to the restrictions inherent with virtual and remote desktop environments, Cadence does not test, certify, or support any of the graphical applications in any virtual environment. Virtual environments include, but are not limited to: Citrix, VMware, and Hyper-V. Remote desktop environments include but are not limited to: Remote Desktop (Windows), Hummingbird (Windows), Remote X Desktop (Linux), and VNC based products (Windows and Linux).
