The strange thing is that : one graphical file open most of the time works. 2 graphical files open : 50% trouble. 3 open = guaranteed trouble. The mix can be one schematic one pin assignment. or 2 schematics It's not only the BDF editor that has trouble: also the netlist viewer ( any of the four possibilities, pre mapping, post mapping , technology etc ). The pin assignment editor has the same problem. The area where the package is supposed to be drawn is just transparent .. This is a very annoying problem. I rely on schematics for my toplevel and hierarchy. I frequently look at post sytnhesis implementation to optimize blocks, and the pin assignment editor .. well you try doing an effective assignment on a 400+ ball bga .... so the board can be done on 4 layers. The strange thing is that versions up to 8.x do not have the problem. I will try to install 8.0 today and see if that one exhibits the same behaviour.
