That's odd. It does it here, even with nothing else loaded (ie. clean boot) Are you sure it's not just flickering too fast you don't notice it. If you repeated press keys on the keyboard, you should see it flickering quite a bit. I'm sure this is perhaps causing a problem with Lazy Task Swapping, which invariably results in a line of random pixels appearing on the backdrop after approx 15-20 minutes of OvPro loaded, followed soon after by applications randomly crashing (until you turn off Lasy Task Swapping or reboot the machine).
