Have tried to duplicate this in safe mode. Still happens but not very often. I have not changed any other settings yet. In normal mode if an Explorer window is also open the problem does not appear to occur in Firefox? This problem does not occur in Explorer.

Changing resolution to WORKSFORME since there was no code change that fixed this.
