That reminds me - I have this sort of flecking effect quite often,
also on an Iyonix, and only in Ovation Pro. I assumed it was something
to do with a little bit of the tops or bottoms of text which was
previously in those positions, not being wiped off the screen.
Sometimes it makes the typed text very hard to read, but re-drawing
the window [by dragging the window size icon to make it small and
large again] displays the document correctly again (for a while).
I shall experiment with your Misc plugin next time it happens re lazy
task swapping.
