"resize main window" loop, DCS runs in black screen

[Nealius]

Running a single 1080p monitor, updscaled to 4k for recording VR, videos, screenshots, etc. When doing mission building I run DCS in standard 1080p resolution. 

Prior to installing Kola map I never had issues.

After installing Kola map, any time I check a mission then return to the mission editor, I am stuck on a black screen, but DCS is not frozen.

DCS log file indicates main window resizing issues:

Still having issues, only with Kola map. Posted in the ORBX bug tracker and ignored.

If I use the F10 map then exit the mission back to the editor, black screen.

If I edit a mission then exit the editor, black screen.

If I edit a mission, then load another Kola mission, load halts at terrain init.

During these hangs DCS is still responding, as I can alt-tab to try and close the window, and the "are you sure you want to exit" dialogue appears. Task manager shows DCS using 40-50% CPU, 60% RAM, 20% or less of GPU, and 0% disk during these episodes.

Logs still appear the same as above, with "resize main window" loops.

Again, this only happens in Kola. This does not happen with any other terrains.

Seems to have been fixed with the December update(s).
