I see your problem, and why you don't see mine.

I have upgraded to 7.1.0.1(X64) to check ongoing relevance and I see it still.

On trying to reproduce it at will I met your problem.  The display optimiser
was always there before me although by changing window size (not a routine
operation for me though I never use maximised windows) I could catch it
unawares in a promising state.  But I never beat it.

So I reloaded the file again and got it.  (2 screen shots) The first screen
shot clearly shows the display optimiser has not been invoked and the list of
tabs has been truncated.  The problem is pretty well guaranteed in this
situation I suspect. 

The second screen shot (this one is cropped from a full screen because
otherwise Windows only screen shots the dialogue) shows the optimised has done
its job in the process.

I am minded to spend a bit longer living with the issue until I can get a
better handle on when it happens.  It could be a timing issue (the work is a
bit heavy) or copying and pasting elements between pages or some other
abominable form of user abuse.  Or it could be related to the HP laptop
hardware.

I will also upload the file in case it has something stupid that breaks stuff,
but at the moment I suspect it could be noise.


Thanks for being there - I really appreciate what you guys and gals do.

DrC
