Does anyone else have an issue with flashing occurring on the horizon of your view?

Does anyone else have an issue with flashing occurring on the horizon of your view?  Regardless of how far or near i set my draw distance there is an annoying flashing.  I am guessing i cannot be alone and hope there is a debug fix or something someone has figured out?  It occurs for me both on the latest versions of SL Viewer and Firestorm.  Thoughts?

Check to be sure that your graphics card drivers are up to date.  That "flashing" is a common symptom of outdated drivers.  See http://community.secondlife.com/t5/English-Knowledge-Base/Graphics-cards/ta-p/700073#Section_.1.5

Sounds like a known problem running Advanced Lighting in an area with a lot of connected water sims. The workaround is to go to the "Develop" menu, then under "Rendering" de-select "Object-Object Occlusion."

Ah! I didn't think of water sims. Good catch.
