I seem to remember I got this when the window size was set to some high number.
Is it on 320x240?

Yeah, I wouldn't want to have this on my conscience :-). Anyway, if the 320x240 suggestion doesn't help, I'm making a 3D preview using OpenGL now. It may be more trouble, it may be less trouble, but at least I hope it will not have troubles in the same places where D3D preview does :-). It will be included in this bug fix update that is coming in a week.
