Hi,

This is because fast rendering is turned on for the display. This basically 
turns off the check for longitude seam crossing in the display. You can either 
turn off fast rendering for the particular display (Edit->Properties menu for 
the Display Control - look for the "Fast Rendering" checkbox). You can also 
turn off Fast Rendering as a preference (Main Edit->Preferences menu). You can 
also set the Projection to the GFS projection - Go to the View menu for the 
Grid display and look for "Use Grid Projection".
