I'm 64bit Win7 Pro, and would love to fix this. For me it seems to only happen the first time launching TextPad after a boot.

If, on Vista, the problem shows up in Aero but not Classic, does that necessarily mean that this is a Vista bug?

Is this a Vista-only thing, or 5.1 in ...

I recently started using Vista, and switched to TextPad 5.1 (from 4.something).

I've noticed that the text selection (ie, highlighted blue) often displays wrong. For example, I'll grab word and drag to the left, but part of the line to the right highlights.
