Open GL + Quadro Drivers later than 572.60 + Chart Trade Mode = chart black out glitches

Windows 10
Quadro p4000
Nvidia Quadro driver 572.60
Open GL enabled
Any version of SC, including the latest 2807
-everything works perfectly-

If I try to upgrade my Nvidia drivers above 572.6, then I get glitchy charts with Open GL (blacking out bars and studies as I move the mouse), only with chart trading mode enabled.

I had stayed at 572.6 (FEB2025), but I decided to try again, hoping it would improve. However, the problem persists when I go above 572.6. It's no big deal, and I can work around it (disable OpenGL on my trading instance or stick with 572.6).

However, is it a known problem, something I can easily fix or something that Nvidia Quadro drivers introduced after 572.60?

Attached images to show the problem (incidentally, I dont actually trade off these uploaded charts full of graphics, I use a separate clean instance - but that has the same problem if I use OPen GL)

We want you to open a new chart.

Without any studies or anything. Enable Trade >> Chart Trade Mode.

Do you still see this issue when using OpenGL?

We made one small change which may or may not make a difference and will be out in the next release.

Go to Global Settings >> Graphics Settings >> Other. Enable Use Compatible OpenGL Profile.

Restart Sierra Chart. See if you still have the issue.

New chart> new chart book>no studies>chart trade mode enabled = problem remains (albeit it's harder to trigger the fault)

New chart>new chart book>no studies>chart trade mode disabled = no problems

Toggling the Compatible OpenGL Profile on or off and restarting makes no difference to the above.

Further info:
I can also replicate the problem on my existing charts without chart mode enabled if I resize a rectangle on the charts that have numerous studies, overlays/colour bar studies, and this happens (almost) every time I resize a rectangle.
It is more challenging to replicate the same issue on the new single test chart, but with studies added, it can occur after 4-6 attempts to resize a rectangle.
I'm unable to replicate the problem with the new single chart without studies, regardless of how many times I resize the rectangle.
