Uh oh. I talked to Bill about a similar phenomenon I was experiencing with
desktop icons. What's going on is that GrafSpeed is testing the pen position
of every text draw to see if it is within the current portrect, and if it isn't
the text is never drawn. if you have partially visible text whose left edge is
outside the portrect, the text never gets drawn and you don't see the visible
part. There's a very easy fix but until he makes it you may want to take
grafspeed out of your system.

I haven't verified this explanation, as I am not using grafspeed for other
reasons, so take this with a grain of salt.
