Solved Odd text display

[Britton30]

When I click to edit a post the text looks like this:



It also does this on any site where there is a scroll box or the page scrolls. A simple left click on the text corrects it but reappears if scrolled either direction.
After saving an edit I am unable to highlight any text on that same page without a refresh.
IE9 9.0.8

Do you have the same problem with Firefox or Chrome?

What Add-ons do you have installed in IE9?

 

[Britton30]

I only use IE9, here's the add-on list.

 

[Ztruker]

What happens if you disable them?

 

[Britton30]

All disabled.
Testing edits.

No change with addons disabled.

 

[Ztruker]

Are you using a custom theme? If so try changing to the default to see if that helps.

 

[Britton30]

Nope, just an Aero theme, all standard stuff.

Gary have you tried disabling hardware acceleration like we can do with Firefox?

See if disabling it on IE helps: http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorial...rer-9-gpu-hardware-acceleration-turn-off.html

thanks Yussi, tried disabling, no joy. Here's what I saw when I went to edit a post this time.

Umm I can't think of anything else... I'll have to check if the same thing happens with my IE.

 

[Ztruker]

What resolution are you using. Is it the recommend one for you display?

 

[Britton30]

1920x1080, the native resolution Rich.

 

[Ztruker]

Just for a test, try installing Firefox and see if the problem occurs. If not then it is IE specific. At least that would provide an area to concentrate on.

If it still occurs then it's a global Windows 7 problem.

I think I'd rather live with it than to install any other browser. They bring in so much crap and it's hard to get rid of all their bits later.
I suspect it's my rig, I don't see other users having this issue.

 

[Ztruker]

As a test, try a lower resolution, see what it does.

 

[Britton30]

Hmm, that was strange Rich. I changed to 1600x900 and 1366x768 then back to 1920x1080 and now the display seems fine.

Corrupted whatchmacallet! Well know computer problem

 

[Britton30]

Oddly too, the issues has fixed itself. I have bad mojo.:sarc:

Heh heh, don't forget "Plug it in, turn it on" too.
