I'll try reinstalling the display driver, although I'm not seeing artifacts
of corruption anywhere else. Let me know if you suddenly think of something
else. Thanks again.

I would have thought that there would have been some other display anomalies
other than just that single list.

I'm not really sure what else this can be. It has to be a corruption but one
that affects all the display fonts and only for that one list. Very strange.
