    Chinh, thank you for the bug confirmation and clarification of  
the issue.  A question about the proposed remedy:  I have resized my  
Results window to what I think is quite wide (about 75% of the width  
(and 80% of the height) of a 17" LCD @ 1280 x 1024), and I am still  
seeing (well, not seeing, literally) occasional missing lines.   
Should I be doing something else?  For now, I have turned off the  
"Enable Fast Scrolling" option to eliminate the bug.  Thanks again.
