I get graphical problems with VS 2010 were the text editor blanks out sections of the code and docked tool windows do not draw properly. You can see this in the image below, the Resharper File Structure window does not draw properly.

[Edit 1] This happens when I maximise the window. The code in the text editor has not refreshed since maximising and the File Structure code window has stayed in the same position horizontally, although it has moved vertically.

Does anyone know what causes this and how to fix it?

My machine is a Win 7 Ultimate x64 desktop with a Radeon HD6800 driver 8.920.0.0 with twin monitors 1920x1200 main and 1600x1200 secondary.

The problem doesn't always reproduce, you have to run for some time before you see it. When it appears, it does not affect all open files, generally just one or two.

    Have you tried resetting the VS settings to default (Devenv /ResetSettings)? Does it do it in VS Safe Mode (Devenv /SafeMode) as well? Are your Radeon drivers up-to-date? Jan 22, 2012 at 18:14

I have disabled the setting "Enable rich client visual experience" under Environment | General and the problem has not occurred since.
