David,
This might help. I have been having "weirdness" in Excel. The popup notes
describing a data point on a graph are cut off. After seeing this message
this morning, I moved the graph to the left side of the screen and the popup
displays perfectly. Maybe there is an OS frame buffer problem. If somebody
has more time than I do, they could try different screen resolutions to see
if that affects the problem. Otherwise, it looks like it might be time to
beat on the OS guys for this one.
