Fix line fragmentation cause by scrolling in Word
Authored by: zane on Mar 29, '06 12:36:23PM

No, this isn't limit to secondary displays at all. I get this in Word all the time on my primary (only) display, for what seems like years now.

Simply dragging the window partially off screen then back on again fixes it for me. That, or minimizing & un-minimizing to/from the Dock does the same. Or just save, close and re-open.

Switching resolution every time this happens seems like a painful way to fix this.

I get this only in word, and only on a second screen. I am not gonna change resolution, case that's lame. And its a cinema display, so I don't think I can.

I also can't do anything else like resize the window, because mine manifests as a failure of the window in general. You cannot resize or move that Word window without a restart of the app.

Other Word display problems

I have noticed this problem as well. It seems that Word screen operations are somewhat unfinished, because I have came across couple others as well:
- when moving from 12" PB's screen to larger external screen without quitting Word, the document window can be stretched, but the part higher than 768px is shown white (only known cure: restart Word)
- when using the Notebook layout and minimizing the window to dock, the tabs in right stay on-screen (similar problem with Messenger picture Drawer as well), no cure found yet
