    Summary: The flares from thrusters placed in front of cockpit seats sometimes bleed through the thrusters and solid walls while seated.

    Description:
    In certain situations the blue flares from thrusters can appear stuck on the screen bleeding through walls as you pilot ships. Sometimes it is immediate, sometimes you have to maneuver around a bit before the flare bleeds through and gets stuck permanently overlaid. It only occurs when you are seated.

    Steps to Reproduce:
    Note: My graphics settings are all on high, except for depth of field which is off.
    1) Load either of the attached two test CVs
    2) Fly them around a little, changing direction. Eventually a blue flare becomes visible on the screen. For Flare Test 1 you will have to set your field of view to about 75 to see the flares bleed through.
    3) With the Flare Test 1 CV remove the window and fly it around again. The stuck flares should go away. Replace the window and the flares come back.
    4) With the Flare Test 2 CV remove the turret and fly it around again. The stuck flare should go away. Replace the turret and the flare comes back.
