Hi,
I have encountered the same problem with a G4, scrolling through a 377 gel
image causes the screen fails to refresh properly thereby leaving large
sections of the screen blank unless I collaspe the window and reopen it. I
have yet to find a fix for this problem. Would love to hear it if anyone
has the solution.
