FrameMaker freaks me out

[David Spreadbury]

Steve,
Occasionally my FrameMaker display will go a little berserk. Nothing as serious, so far, as you relate, but similar. Also, there are times when I will delete a graphic, but it remains on the screen, and "I know I deleted it".
It may be due to a long standing bug in Frame related to refreshing of the display. You might try Ctrl+L (Refresh) one time and see if it has any effect.
Or, check if there are any updates to your video drivers. Another possibility.
Dave

At some point while editing yesterday, and I'm not sure what I was doing, *every chapter* in the book I'm working on started displaying all its text as if someone had picked it up and randomly scattered it across the page - complete loss of vertical leading, and sideways shifts as well. It was clearly something internal to FrameMaker's display engine, as opening unopened chapters showed the same thing.

After nearly having a coronary, I closed down FrameMaker and then re--opened the book, and everything then looked fine, and has remained fine.

I've never seen anything like this before, and it's probably shortened my life expectancy somewhat. Anyone else experienced this?
