Hi,

I've got a PMAx with a VR262 monochome monitor (the 19" beastie).
Under X windows, clearing large areas of the display causes the
display to ``shrink'' a little and pop back to normal.

For example, when paging forward using texx2, the screen visibly caves
in each time I page forward. I checked that it wasn't an illusion by
obscuring the section of the display that changes and repeating - sure
enough,the borders move slightly towards the center.

This is a strain on my eyes over a long period of time - have others
noticed this, and if so, have you found a solution?
