Thank you, but I cannot attach the code since it is proprietary to my employer. The glitch occurs before execution of the VI. When this glitch was noticed, the computer would not execute the VI, most of the time, if any of the time.

Thank you. I can only point to the following events/ techniques that were somewhat different from my previous experiences/ techniques:
1) Performed 'SAVE AS... ' new file name to these files over several months and several times a day using similar filenames with only one number character different between them
2) Logging long data files to the root C: drive and closing in on less < 5GB HDD remaining (could this be overwriting soem temp files that LV uses to manag graphics???)
3) After saving to LV 7.1 and re-opening with LV 8.0, I get a message that is new to me that explained something about wiring a Boolean constant to a case structure and how LV 7.1 or previous used this to keep a sub-vi in memory (???). Unfortunately for me, I did not capture the exact syntax of this message and I do not wish to intentionally repeat this graphical feature.
4) I copied a small block of code that contained a 'cloned' sub-vi from one block diagram to the a similar VI that , shortly afterward, exhibited the front-panle 'tearing' feature. This is something that I usually do not do, and, again, is one of the only new actions from anything that I have done in LV for the past several years.
5) After the message described in (3), above, the rescued LV 7.1 version had moved a handful of the most recently added indicators to a very remote location, about 30 seconds of edge-scrolling time, to the left of my front panel graphics. I perfromed a 'drag' operation by selecting these and bumping them to the right edge of the screen for about 30 seconds to get them back to the vicinity of my front-panel graphics. I have never experienced a VI that shifted inidcators so far off the edge of the screen.
These are the only ' unique' events that I can recall before the 'tear; effect.
Thank you.

Hello,
Well you've managed to capture (at least) three NI employees' interest / concern with this issue, but I'm afraid that if we can't reproduce it, it will be difficult to diagnose. Some other things that I'll reiterate or add from the previous posts:
I also know that some facilities are very strict about what can be posted, but I had to ask again, as without some or all of this it might be hard to diagnose this problem which I'm pretty sure we've never seen or heard of before.
Thank you for your patience and understanding.

Here is the screen shot of the phenomenon that appears in a handful of my LV 8.0.1 VIs. I do nto have a second LV 8 Pro Dev license to try these VIs.
Thank you
