Hi Dimitrios,

Yes this does describe the odd behaviour I was seeing, it was usually
happening if I opened a pdf in a small window. One thing to note is that if
I move on to the next page and then back again it seems to sort itself out
and I correctly see the first page.

Thanks again,

Haymansfield
