I have noticed the same thing on my Plus occasionally.  It doesn't
have anything to do with the particular program you're running.
Programs couldn't control that if they wanted to.  The problem is in
the monitor.  I can't explain the physics behind this particular
disorder, and I'm not sure if there is a simple adjustment to fix it,
but it probably won't have any other consequences.

I know that inside the Mac, there are a couple of pots to adjust
monitor focus and brightness.  Perhaps lowering the brightness a tad
(even with the outside control) would help as it would reduce the
contrast between the black and the white.  I have a suspicion that
high contrast might be contributing to the problem.

"Master, why is the letter 'i' the symbol for current?"  "Because there is
no letter 'i' in the word 'current'."  "Master, why do we use the letter
'j' for sqrt(-1)?"  "Because we use the letter 'i' for current."  Whereupon
the Master struck the Disciple, and the Disciple became enlightened.
