RDP MMC screen dimensions get corrupted

Since I haven't found any other reports of this I'll mention it here... I
have a few RDP MMC consoles that I have set up and what I find is that after
a while, when I click on the Start button, it's acting like I clicked 3
inches or so to the right. Same thing with right-click, the menu comes up
at some location (usually a few inches to the right). A workaround is to
hard-code the resolution, or recreate the entry from scratch.

I don't want to recreate the entry from scratch because the RDP MMC is so
basic, it has no sorting or drag-n-drop features to arrange the connections,
so recreating it means losing my sorting.

I haven't tried with Vista/08/Win7. Is it fixed there?

Bump, I can't be the only person this is happening to...

I have not seen this on any machines I manage or any reports of it from my
customers.

BTW - this is a newsgroup - not a web forum. Bump does nothing.
