Continuous forms display broken in various ways when use vertical scrollbar or Page Up/Down
Hi, I am Tom, one of the developers of Northwind 2.*.
I cannot reproduce the problem on my machines. Can you please make sure your video drivers are up to date? That can make a huge difference. 1920 pixels is 28K twips, well below the 32K maximum, so that should not be a problem (assuming normal 72 dpi).
Can you try on other machines around you?
Can you give more info about your video card?

Tom, this was previously asked on MS Answers, and the issue is 100% scaling on at least one specific monitor.

Hi Tom, thanks for looking into this.
I can now confirm that on the second monitor second DELL P2423 1920x1200 I do not see the problem if I change the scaling to 125%. However this is not the recommended setting for the monitor, and I don't want to use it! Drivers are up to date.
We can easily reproduce on other machines and monitors, e.g. this is from a colleague on a different monitor Dell P2422H 1920 x 1080 with scaling 125% (not recommended setting) after page down/up - note the second column corruption plus showing wrong data for the ID 24 (not World Wide Importers!). Again problems are worse the larger the form (e.g. maximised is really bad). On her other monitor (same model) at 100% scaling, there are similar problems though slightly less pronounced - it takes a couple of page down/up before the display starts to break down. On her primary laptop monitor no problems at all (resolution 1920 x 1200, scaling 125%).
