Yes, this one is a bug. The algorithm is causing a
completely different shape for the slur at one viewing
size than another. To give you some idea, the center
of a slur on a normal printout could be more than an
inch away from where you see it on screen (relative to
nearby objects). It's not a subtle difference on the
order of a few pixels. It's as if a 2 year old drew
that particular slur by hand - but it looks fine in
Finale at some resolutions, so you aren't aware of the
problem until printout. It's rare, and I never hear
about it on the MakeMusic forum any longer, but the
fact it exists does mean you have to watch out for it
or do something to prevent it.
