Description:
After installing Workbench 5.2.25 (Revision 6303) I simply can't to anything on Modeling window. It remains with a blue bar on the left side, and the right side becomes white (no grid is displayed). Additionally, any window or context menu opened remains "printed forever" on the modeling window.

After some time trying to execute in compatibility mode I've decided to run in 256 colors mode and it worked: I finally was able to see my diagrams. This gave me the idea of a possible OpenGL problem.

SystemInfo (After adding "-swrendering" flag)

Suggested fix:
Possible workaround:
I've added the "-swrendering" flag on my Workbench shortcut to disable OpenGL and it worked.

Hello Erick,
could you maybe check if there are updated drivers for your graphic-card available? We had some reports where updating the drivers did fix the problem.
thanks in advance
