I see the "red dots" quite often, and if I keep PowerMail open for a long writing/editing session, I can get one in nearly every line down the left side of my window. (I have one to play with right now.) I'd say it's smaller than a period. Maybe just a single pixel. They stick to the window location regardless of scrolling, and through window moves, but resizing the window kills them. When I look very closely, I can see that there are actually a bunch of them on the inner left edge of the window, but they are nearly invisible. I think somehow they 'clump' together and then become visible (and annoying).
I have generated a couple of screenshots which seem to confirm their presence and clumping and sent these along to PowerMail support. - Chris Plummer On Sun, 30 Nov 2003 16:51:28 +0000, "Pat O'Halloran" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, allegedly wrote: >Subject: Artifacts >Does anyone else get the odd red artifact appearing down the left hand >side of messages they are typing? > >I can't get them to appear on demand but they consist of a red dot, the >size of a period at the extreme left edge of messages.
