This is of course very bad and should be addressed and I am happy if there 
will be a solution. What I meant is not the technical point of view but the 
users point of view. A user does not recognize a redraw if nothing really 
changes ( 2 pixel move is of course a change) but if the lines get rewrapped 
in the texteditor it is disturbing.
