Application Screen Repainting Issues

This is apparently a known bug reported on Microsoft Connect for dual monitors.

For example, it was reported here and here for Visual Studio 2010, with the following workarounds suggested by people (not from Microsoft, as Microsoft is still "working on it"):

  1. Change around the display parameters as described in How to Adjust Visual Studio 2010 Visual Experience Settings, as far as this applies to the products you are using,
  2. Disable all DirectDraw and Direct3D accelerations: Go to Display Properties (Right-Click screen/Properties), Settings Tab, Advanced Button, Troubleshoot Tab, Move the slider to the middle.
  3. Remove all toolbars: Tools->Customize->Toolbars, and uncheck all.
