A re-install (yes, I am using the portable version, Always have) fixed it, sort of. I opened my database which was collapsed at level 1. Using ctrl+9, the items did expand, but ALL of the sub items showed up without text - totally blank. A refresh of the grid fixed that. I have shut down and re-started without further problems.
Weird and disconcerting. Possibly a deal breaker for new users.

Hi John,
This is a known problem. It happens here once in a while and I/we haven't been able to understand what causes it. It seems like a grid component bug, maybe related to conditional formatting ? Not sure.
Thanks Armando for pointing me to the Mantis report. The particular database to which I was referring has no colors and no conditional formatting, so I don't think those can account for this behavior.
we're off-topic here but just wanted to write about what happened after reading your post yesterday Armando:
IQ was open but I hadn't been using it for a while. When I Alt+tabbed back to it, all parent items in the opened grid were blank - I dont think this has happened here before -
Was I hexed ?
On a more serious note, I noticed other apps were having problems too - mouser's FARR was showing a list without numbers, I cant remember now what else. So possibly a graphics problem.
