Dave,
Sorry for the late response (I think this is a record) but your request slipped
through the cracks (or maybe you came by last spring and we resolved this?)

That is very weird. If you do a control-r then the box gets reset to a square 
box.
Maybe it was a timing thing. If this comes up again please get back with us and 
we will
definitely respond quicker next time.
