When I display the Properties or Exif tabs in the Preview pane and scroll DOWN thru the text data, the light blue gridlines separating the text entry lines get corrupted - I get twice as many lines and they obscure the data being displayed.
Oddly enough, if I scroll UP, this does not happen.
A screen snapshot can clearly show the problem, but I do not see any way to include an image in a forum post. I can send it to someone if you like.
I am using version 1.91.1, Windows XP SP2
(Love the program, by the way!)

Might be a problem with the video driver/card.RAH wrote:...Oddly enough, if I scroll UP, this does not happen.
A screenshot posted here would be really helpful. The forum itself does not host screenshots but you can upload images on public servers like ImageShack, see topic Using ImageShack to upload sample images.RAH wrote:A screen snapshot can clearly show the problem, but I do not see any way to include an image in a forum post.

Yes, it probably is a video driver problem. I tried it on my cousin's computer and it looked much better - the text lines are not corrupted on her screen, although the gridlines do appear in kind of random fashion.
Anyway, I have uploaded a screen snapshot here, where you can see the problem on my system:

Perhaps you could have an option to just show the text in a simpler pure-text layout (similar to what is seen by right-clicking a thumbnail and picking Properties), so that drivers that cannot handle the gridlines will sstill function properly. Just a thought.

Could this problem be related to the screen font DPI settings?

I've noticed that in some windows in Investor/RT, certain buttons and other controls seem to be either missing, or out of place. Is there a setting somewhere that will correct this?

This could be a problem caused by having Large Fonts (120 DPI) enabled in Windows. VisualSite Designer requires either Normal or Small fonts (96 DPI or less). - Microsoft

I haven't changed any of the default settings of my computer (a Compaq laptop) related to screen font, plus I have no font-related trouble with any other program, so I doubt if that is the problem, although I guess anything is possible.
Also, I should have made more clear that even my cousin's computer (a Dell desktop system with an LCD monitor, also Windows XP SP2) shows those gridlines in kind of an odd fashion - i.e. as soon as you scroll down they get kind of funny and not the neat arrangement they had when the tab is first clicked. On her system, the lines don't get closer together as on mine, so they never obscure the text information.
Since this is just a cosmetic thing, my preference would be that the lines just be eliminated (i.e. just use simple text), although I guess if most of the rest of the world isn't having this problem it's not worth bothering with. Of course, a lot of people have Compaq laptops and Dell desktops!

Very strange, and no problem on detail mode when you scroll?Anonymous wrote:Yes, it probably is a video driver problem. I tried it on my cousin's computer and it looked much better - the text lines are not corrupted on her screen, although the gridlines do appear in kind of random fashion.
