We normally keep within the margins for most of our work, and when we have I don't think we've seen the problem. I think it's arisen where items have straddled the margin, and possibly when they've been rotated. > BTW, I said we experienced it from 1.3.3.2 - that should > be 1.3.3.1.

That sounds like the basis of a bug report, but if 1.3.3.13svn and / or 1.3.5svn might fix it is it worth trying those first ? If you like, you can email me your .sla and I'll try it from the 1.3.5svn I have installed here under XP.
