Screen Flickers When clicking an object

The use of dual monitors sometimes results to :
1. Options bar is showing up as multiple gray bars.
2. Screen flickers when clicking an object and more gray bars appears moving the project down.

Solutions:
1. Open and work on Revit which is docked to your primary monitor.
2. Temporarily reduce screen resolution, dock Project Browsers/Properties palettes
back inside Revit, exit & open Revit.
