Summary0009272: Preflight Verifier momentarily reports text overflow when checking script-created frames.
DescriptionThis is rather a subtle personality issue, but it took me 1 hour chasing text ghosts before I realized it was nothing.

The script "StampPages_DraftCopy.py" creates a text frame on every page with the "DRAFT COPY" text in it. When printing this, the Preflight Verifier (PV) says "Text Overflow" on page 3, then I go to page 3 and it looks OK, so I run PV again and now says "Text Overflow" on page 10, then I go to page 10 and it looks OK, so I run PV again .... 100, etc ... it looks OK.

So, it appears that as pages are drawn on the screen (scrolling down, passing through all pages) something gets updated and PV is happy. Saving and opening "fixes" this too.
Additional Information7 July 2010; Build ID: C-*-T-*-C1.8.6-Windows; Using Ghostscript version 8.70
