I'm using Word 5.0a and MathType 3.0 and have noticed that lines which
have a MathType PICT in them are redawn *twice* each time a new
character is typed; thus you get a flashing line as you type.

For example if I insert a MathType PICT here XXX, and then type more,
                                                ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
each new character typed after the PICT is redrawn twice. 

Has anyone else noticed this? 

Is it fixed in 5.1?
