SQL Management Studio 2005

Why does the rendering of SQL Management Studio 2005 take forever when
my monitor runs in portrait mode?  If I rotate the monitor in landscape
mode the tool responds and performs just fine.  The .NET 2003 and the
old SQL IDE work just fine in portrait monitor mode.

Example opening a table that contains 459 rows

Landscape Monitor Mode - 1 Second to render
Portrait Monitor Mode - 36 Seconds to render


I can't believe that Microsoft would allow software out the door with
this kind of issue.

I asked our test team if they had looked at this, and they said they tried
and can't reproduce the experience. They asked what was displaying on your
screen. The Summary page, Object Exporer, one or more Query Windows? They
would like to try again to reproduce this.

The Object Exporer was running and I right click on a table and
selected Open Table.
Do you think it might have something to do with the display adaptor or
driver?

My Current Computer Setup
Window XP Professional SP 2
Video Card : NVIDIA GeForce4 MX 440 with AGP8X
Monitor      : Dell LCD running at 1280 * 1024 32-bit Color 60 Hertz
Computer   : Pentium 4 3Ghz 1.00 GB Ram

I hope this helps.
