IDCS misaligned frames in display

[anton_marc@adobeforums.com]

In ID CS, but not in other applications, very frequently the display will lose its coherence--the frames appear offset from their contents, by a significant distance so that I can not tell where the object is really located.

Another aberration--dragging to reposition a frame will leave fragments of it and its contents behind. A novel effect but hugely frustrating.

How can this display weirdness be fixed?

So far, I've only been able to workaround the problem by building a brand new document. Sometimes I can copy and paste the contents from the corrupt file but that doesn't always work either. AND, the new document may at some future time go corrupt itself! I can't get my work done this way!

Disable Suitcase autoactivation.

If you want to keep Suitcase autoactivation, you can simply force a screen redraw -- type Command-R and then do it again. This turns the Rulers off and then back on.

Of course, this doesn't fix the display problem permanently.
