Refreshing screen on Excel and Word - Windows 7
I recently started having a problem with Excel where frequent screen refresh (about every 4 seconds) was interfering with work. The same thing was happening in Word.
After many hours of troubleshoo...

When the desktop app is active all MS Office 2016 applications suffer witht he dropdown menus disappearing prematurely. Error started occuring on 16 or 17 Aug 2017 (following a DB update?) My only workaround is to shut down the DB desktop app.

Hey tovarishrob, welcome to our forum!
I've moved your post here, so you (and we) can keep an eye on this issue's progress.
Yeah, this is a small bug that our team is aware of, and currently working on. In the meantime, you don’t have to exit our app entirely, you can just disable the Dropbox Badge.
Cheers

This beta version did not work for me out of the box. I had to disable the badge ("never show") in order to correct the problem.

After some digging in the web, I found that it was DB that was interfering with the microsoft menus. A bit late, because I upgraded my 2010 license to 2016 hoping that would do the trick, and it partially did but not fully. I disabled the badge and upgraded DB but the trouble persists: When I select a graph the pop-up menu is ok, but if I select a series or any other element in the graph, the pop-up menu starts flickering. It is very annoying... Any other fix I can try?

They have been beating on this problem since August. Time to Drop the box.

Small bug. Yup, a small bug that completely kills productivity. I only lost a few hours before identifying DB as the culprit, after which I searched for the DB solution (DB Badge).
