Re: visual tears when scrolling in draft view?

Hi mdhills,
If you have a document in which this problem consistently manifests would
you mind sending it to me? (e-mail below)

We recently fixed a similar bug and I'd like to see if it is the same issue.
If not, I'll get a bug filed.


Thanks,


Curt

Has anyone been having problems with the screen getting out of synch
with the scrolling?

I've noticed this within my first few minutes of using Word2008.
When scrolling with the mouse scroll wheel while in draft view with
zoom set to 150%, I've been seeing visual tears in the window as the
display gets messed up.
If I'm scrolling rapidly, sometimes I'll see a part of the document
appear at both the top and bottom part of the window. I seem to
recall similar problems in early versions of Word X (or was it 2004?)

an example screen shot is at:

(Office 2008, MacOSX 10.4.10 on macbook pro; Office X and 2004 both
still installed)
