Leadwerks Workshop, a one-stop shop for browsing and installing free game assets, is now more easily accessible with a visual interface built right into the Leadwerks editor. In addition, over one hundred small fixes and improvements have made their way into the new update.

I tested and am unable to produce this problem with Nvidia, AMD, or Intel graphics hardware on Windows with the latest drivers for each.
