I don't want a bandaid solution. Turning off themes will not fix the actual
problem. More than likely what I'm experiencing is a bug, so I'm not
expecting any user to have a real 'solution'. If someone does actually have
a solution, though, I'd love to hear it.
I had a glimmer of hope that MS would actually see this thread, but I guess
that was just stupid of me lol.
