1.3.0 Blurry, flickering text in terminal after update

Displaylink1.13.0
MacBook M1 Pro
Sequoia 15.6
StarTech Dock
2x Samsung LS27A70

With 1.12.4 everything was find. Now with the update I see flickering and blurry text in some applications (e.g., iTerm, Visual Studio Code, etc.). Mostly when there is coloured text on a back background.

If the manufacturer of your docking station (StarTech) has been unable to assist you, then I would suggest reporting the issue directly to DisplayLink by following the process outlined here --> https://support.displaylink.com/know...to-displaylink

Same problem with Sonoma 14.7.5 (23H527).
Had to go back to 1.12.4. Why release something that does not work?

Hello,

tgold and judx, would you be able to report this problem to our tech support?
An instruction how to do it is here: How to report macOS issues to DisplayLink

Thanks,

Yes I did report this via that link (used the tool and send results plus issue description via that email) but did not get a reply so far.
That was Aug 11th already.
