Flickering "Save As" dialogue screens in OS X Yosemite

Hi,
I've just updated to OS X Yosemite 10.10 on a MacBook Pro 13" Mid-2012 with 2.9 GHz Intel Core i7 and Intel HD Graphics 4000 1024 MB.

The "Save As" drop-down menu flickers in MS Office, Adobe CS. It did not do this before the installation of OS X Yosemite. I have updated those programmes to the latest versions and rebooted but the flickering still occurs.

I am running MS Office 2011 Version 14.4.5 and Adobe Creative Suite 6. In the screenshot below, the grey bar below the document view window flickers and it is difficult to select both the location and the document name to save.

Any help would be appreciated.

MacBook Pro (13-inch Mid 2012), OS X Mavericks (10.9.4)

Thanks so much for your help! I thought I was going crazy about the flickering dialogue screen of ****. I's been happening to me with all the Adobe software I use and it has been SO FRUSTRATING!

Hi Gerard,

I've had the flickering problem with Adobe Photoshop Elements and your suggestion to change the layout of the representation of the files solved it for me. It's interesting that I don't have the problem when using Adobe Photoshop CC on my other computer, which is also running OS X Yosemite.

Thank you! What a simple fix! The flickering was driving me nuts.
