It's only some-but-not-all resizings that shift it.

No, I've only noticed it when resizing photos.
  
Here is what I do:
Take one .jpg file (mine is 100kb and ~ 900x600)
Resize it - try to either a width of 450 or 180. I have it set to resample 
and be bicubic.
It didn't do it that time :-)

I'm wondering if I could be just catching it with the mouse and dragging it 
slightly?  Just one tap of the respective arrow key is enough to put the 
picture back in the right place. As an aside, where can I find more info on 
the differences between bicubic, bilinear, soft and nearest neighbour?  I'm 
not sure which one to use for what, and what the benefits of each are.  This 
is something that is apparently missing from the manual (it's not on page 46).

Hope you manage to replicate it.  Some days it happens every time I resize a 
photo, but it isn't going to today :-)

However, here is one problem that you should be able to replicate.  Type some 
text into the text editor, and (for about 60%+ of my fonts) the last letter, 
or half of it, disappears.  This is extremely annoying to say the least!  Is 
there a cure?  This happened in version 2 as well as 3.

Finally, is there any way to type the copyright symbol into the Text editor?  
I need to add it to the bottom of some photos, and sticking the symbol looks 
much neater than writing "copyright" each time.  Ctrl-Alt-C doesn't work.

Regards,
Peter.
