I either discovered a bug within Blender or perhaps more incompatibility with certain graphics cards. I noticed that while Blender 2.55 runs quite nicely in some regards, whenever I go to the lower window and go to the Properties view, and go to something like Modifiers, every once and a while, the program will all of the sudden zoom into the panel (sometimes triggered via a middle mouse button drag to pan the view or sometimes just simple scrolling) and all the buttons are all displayed in some funky overlapped fashion. Is this is a bug or some setting I need to adjust within the software? What can I do within Blender to make this very annoying issue go away (I can’t zoom out or anything for that only makes the buttons look weirder/more overlapped and messed up)?
EDIT: Attached is a screenshot of what I mean by the buttons messing up seemingly at any trigger of the middle mouse button.
EDIT2: One way to solve this problem is to hit the “Home” button which does refresh things, but does not rid me of the middle mouse button triggering issue.
