I think I found the problem.

My primary monitor (17") I run at 1024x768.
My secondary monitor (21") is at 1280 x 960.

Hello,
New to this editor. Just downloaded textpad and testing. (v4.7.3). I like the similarities to the "IBM personal editor" I used years ago. (block mark)

When I open Textpad in a window larger then about 780 pix high, the text becomes corrupted when I scroll down. Could this be my video card ...
