IDE behaving oddly in Vista 64 - anyone else have this?

Hello all,

This is buggering me quite a bit, it's not a major thing, but very annoying.:(

Whenever I switch views using the treeview in Installation Designer, the scrollbars in the right pane often disappear, and/or the pane itself does not seem to resize properly. This also happens when pressing 'F4' to show/hide the treeview also, the right pane wont resize...

Anyone else have this? Is this a Vista bug, IS bug, video driver bug?

Using InstallShield 2008 Premier Edition for Windows on Vista Pro 64 bit (french ed.) w. nvidia 8500gt (drivers v7.15.11.6369 = Forceware v163.69) , Core 2 Quad Q6600.

I have used the IDE on several different machines with Vista, this includes

IBM Laptops
DELL Pentium D workstations
HP Vectras

and never seen this behavior. I am not sure what would casue this. Do you see this behavior in any other applications?

I have seen sometime akin to that behavior in a Windows performance monitor - can't recall exactly which one, but a part of the window would not refresh unless one of its parts was interacted with... But I have not seen it anywhere else - I will try and find where/what that monitor is exactly...

Oddly, I do not get the resize problems when connected to the PC via Remote Desktop... :confused:

I would suspect video device drivers then.

Hmm.
Reboot.
Not getting the problem anymore...

I'll blame this on Vista 64, as it's not yet The icon of stability (anyone else getting the windows explorer buggering out half the time?)
