Weird bloom problem

[Ploddish]

After reading a topic on this forum about secret areas, I felt compelled to explore

So, I switched Penumbra on, and loaded up the Storage Room.

I started playing, but I noticed something weird on the screen, it looked like a superimposed zoomed image of what I was seeing now, like this:



Then, when I examined anything, the effect seemed to "fade in" and fade out again when I walked away, but then after fiddling more with settings, I found the only thing that turned the effect off was bloom.

Any ideas?

I've added the hpl log, just incase you need it.

Spoiler below!

Hope that helps
