Maya 2015 Marquee selection Black Screen

Ebonscale

So I've hit a pretty bad snag...I recently installed Maya 2015 since my school switched from Max to Maya while I was deployed, and I've hit a problem. With my Desktop, whenever I Marquee drag using Viewport 2.0, the screen goes black until I rotate the view. My google-fu has been weak with this, and since I'm new to Maya I'm not sure if it's some sort of setting I need to change.

System Specs: Windows 8.1 Pro 64-bit, 8-core AMD processor (8350 @ 4.00), 16 gigs of 1866 RAM, AMD R9 290 4 gb video card. triple monitor setup, only 1 used for Maya.

Have you installed the latest service pack? You only need the latest one as it includes previous service packs. http://knowledge.autodesk.com/support/maya/downloads/caas/downloads/content/autodesk-maya-2015-service-pack-2.html

Have you tried switching to OpenGL from DirectX (or vice versa)?

Have you tried resetting the Selection Tool?

And the lamest catch all solution... Have you tried deleting your Pref folder? (After backing it up of course.)

I'll jot these down for if it happens again. But the strangest thing was, after two more tries of shutting down Maya and restarting, it just...worked...again.

No clue what happened, but...well, it works now.

Also be sure to grab the latest drivers for your video card.

Yes, I have the latest drivers, haha. As an IT specialist, I did all the basic things. It actually took me a week to get my OS on an SSD and everything else on an HDD. Damn technology.

Like I said, it works now, for some odd reason. Maybe I did a deal with the devil while I was a sleep. But if there;s any more issues within the next few days I'll revive this. thanks guys!

srry to revive an old thread but this is happeing to me as well. Everytime i click-drag on viewport, it turns pitch black. when i release the drag, I can see stuff back again. WTH is this? Must be a bug cos cant understand how someone would benefit from this "feature"?

Any ideas? My modeling project has been stopped in its track.

Guys, please submit bugs to Autodesk if you haven't already.

I've got this issue well, with a quadro - looks like a real problem with 2015 SP3. Maya 2014 VP2 works perfectly.

I'm in contact with them now and they have no idea what's causing this, so the more people on it the better. It's a serious bug because it can cause crashes when selecting objects in Maya.

I have the same issue, even updated to SP4. I think for me so far the issue is with Viewpoint 2.0, Both Legacy viewports are working fine.
Strange, though.
