Yes, it is quite common and probably wellknown but still there. Usually the problems arise when you have comments of the (* *)-type within Initialization Cells in StandardForm. Very annoying, and not restricted to Windows (I see the m on a Linux machine). There is a good chance that your problems go away when you don't use these kind of comments in your code. There are other "features" of the FrontEnd that I don't really like these nice black boxes appearing from time to time in saved notebooks. I desperatly hope that WRI will get these problems under control in the next version... Albert
