FR 955 Series: Graphical corruption - dashed horizontal line across watch face

Topic migrated from forum beta 12.2 - https://forums.garmin.com/beta-program/forerunner-955-series/public-beta-bug-reports/i/bug-reports---beta-12-20/graphical-corruption---dashed-horizontal-line-across-watch-face


Installed version 12.23.

Today, 30.08.22 I did a workout and again a black line appeared on the screen. And today she appeared several times in different places.
I managed to take a screenshot. It is not visible on the screenshot - only in the photo. Updating the screen with the forward / backward buttons removes it.

    I feel there isn't any need to send so many images.

    Garmin should be able to replicate it if they have the watch.

    I have both the 955 and Apple watch 7 (I know, I am a weird one) one of them on each arm; I've got the AW7 when my Fenix 5x started to act up, and I have to tell you when it comes to serious fitness, it is a complete joke, only with the Watch OS9 they started to have HR zones for activities, it will take a few years to even come close to a Garmin; and I have to charge it every day.

    I’ve been running with my AW mostly because of these recent issues on the 955. It’s pretty great. Battery life is really good on the Ultra, I just need track mode which is coming soon. The workout calendar on Garmin is really useful but I had an issue starting a workout this week too lol. Really not a ton of reasons to run with the 955 these days until they fix all these issues. The 955 with the original firmware was solid and was the best Garmin I’ve had, crazy they managed to screw up so badly with this update.

    The graphical corruption is still present on 12.27

    Interestingly the 945LTE has had a thin / faint line happening like this for some time with little attention - the thread over there has like 5 replies there this has countless!

    Perhaps more interesting, though, is with the 7.07 beta firmware launched to the 945LTE I noticed the line looked more like 955 is showing - wider, sort of more "bold" and barcode like vs a thin dashed line.

    I'm having the same dashed lines across the screen on my FR955 Solar.  Seems to happen at least 2-3 times during an activity. 

    Yes, Yes, USA.

    today was run #2 with 12.27beta. after realizing that the Battery detailed by Flipstone can't show more than whole number battery precision, i removed it. (so there is that difference):

    this run, no glitches for first 7 miles, but then saw a thin dashed line (reminiscent of 945LTE and i had sporadically seen on prior firmwares) 3 times over the next 4 miles (maybe 1 out of every 3 times i looked at my watch).

    I can't take it anymore.  I'm going to quit running if I see this line again!
