Bug in OneNote 2007 (RTM)

[afalciani]

I was in this discussion for antoher thread that I posted and thought I would
share another issue I have found with OneNote 2007 (RTM). When my Tablet PC
(Fujitsu Lifebook T4020) re-establishes the display, either because I have
docked/undocked or re-entered my password after the screen saver has locked
the computer, OneNote inking stops displaying ink on the screen. If I
Mimimize the OneNote window and then maximize it again, the ink shows
correctly. I just do not see any ink on the screen as I am writing. The only
workaround I have found is shutting down OneNote and launching it again. This
behavior occurred in OneNote 2003 too, buy minimizing and then maximizing it
again would almost always "fix" it.

Aloha afalciani,

SWAG: Do you have the most recent video drivers installed for your Lifebook?

My version shows as 6.14.10.4421 and the Fujitsu site shows 6.14.10.4421R. I
can try updating, but I might not be able to get to it for a few days.

afalciani shared these words of wisdom:

When my Tablet PC (Fujitsu Lifebook T4020) re-establishes
the display, either because I have docked/undocked or re-entered my
password after the screen saver has locked the computer, OneNote
inking stops displaying ink on the screen. If I Mimimize the
OneNote window and then maximize it again, the ink shows correctly.
I just do not see any ink on the screen as I am writing.

This does not happen on my Hp tc1100.

The only
workaround I have found is shutting down OneNote and launching it
again. This behavior occurred in OneNote 2003 too, buy minimizing
and then maximizing it again would almost always "fix" it.

How about an interim solution until you found a way out:
Diable the screen-saver. Send the machine into Hibernation with a
timeout.
