I think I may have got another bug reproduced, and it also appears to 
be related to text inset.

For some time I have been annoyed by what have seemed like random 
flecks displayed around text in some documents, cured by redrawing the 
window. However, I believe they are not shown if the text inset is set 
to 10mm.

I am replicating this as follows, using latest version 2.77g:
- Create standard new document by select click on icon bar icon
[master frame text inset doesn't matter]
[document zoom is 100%]
[text is font Trinity, 12pt]
- Draw a new text frame on screen with text inset set to 1mm
- Type or paste the alphabet into both the master frame and the new 
frame
- Insert cursor before both alphabets and either press Enter a couple 
of times, or press space bar to shift it to the right
- The text in the new frame leaves horizontal marks above or below 
some letters such as y and g, that in the master frame does not.
- Altering text inset of new frame to 10mm cures it

Incidentally, this problem happens with Iyonix lazy task swapping 
either enabled or disabled using Paul Vigay's Misc config plugin.

If the document zoom is not at 100%, the problem is seen less or not 
at all.

Other fonts make the problem more or less apparent.

Changing the desktop resolution makes no difference.

I also find that selecting any text and applying the reverse-out 
colours button to it, then going back to normal, invariably leaves a 
horizontal line above that text, which can only be got rid of by 
redrawing the window. However, this does not seem to be affected by 
text inset of the frame or anything else.

My apologies to David for finding this bug after he had kindly 
produced the fix for the other issue yesterday!
