Title: Lightroom Beta 3: Screen went black..with only cursor displaying
Post by: Michael West on February 11, 2010, 10:59:04 pm

While using Lightroom 3 Beta my screen went completely albeit momentarily black ...displaying only the cursor .
 
This occured on my quad core MacPro
 
Anyone have any idea what I   could have done to make this happen?
 
Thank you

One weak guess...

Loupe mode (the L key) blacks out everything except the current image, in some cases (particularly say in grid mode in the library) I could imagine that, if you'd hit the L key a couple times, it might have flickered the screen black without showing, or without showing in a way you noticed, the image that should have been visible on-screen.
