Dennis,

You can use 
TextOut( ""+Now(), Status("pxwidth")-200, Status("pxheight")/2 ); 

To display last refresh time - this may help detecting such problem.
It never happened on my end, but I would appreciate if someone provides more
details under what circumstances it happens (what is your Prefs "Refresh interval",
what do you do before that happens (use particular drawing tool or ...? 
does pressing F5 solves the problem ? I don't know...
just try to provide information that would make this reproducible).

Best regards,
Tomasz Janeczko
