[OS X TeX] Fwd: Slight pdf distortions in preview (TeXshop

[Warren Nagourney]

I haven't noticed this on TexWorks (I don't have Adobe Reader). I have a strong dislike for almost everything about TW and would rather put up with these distortions than use it (I find that I feel this way about many cross-platform apps).

This seems to happen after scrolling the window using gestures on the trackpad and a slight zoom (and restore to the original magnification) will fix it (temporarily).  I am using 2.47 to avoid the auto-save issues in Mountain Lion (10.8.3) but have noticed the same problem in TeXshop version 3.11.
