Your preferences setting is probably set just a little too far to the
left.  I recently posted something called "SpriteAdjust" to People Link.
You run this program, (via an icon startup) and then run Preferences.
Adjust the screen until the 8 sprite images that appear centered over
the preferences screen adjust window appear as rectangles.  If your
screen is "misadjusted" (which may, to you, be centered), then one
or more of the rightmost sprites will appear as a bar extending from
the top to the bottom of the screen.  The Commodore program MindWalker
suffered from the same symptoms.
