I've heard of issues with released Windows Updates causing Office 2013 application display issues before, but it never affected me until this past round of updates (July 2014). After applying Patch Tuesday's offerings, Microsoft Outlook started exhibiting very slow screen refreshes when I'd leap involving email folders. I have not noticed similar issues in other Office 2013 applications, however I spend the majority of my day in Outlook, so the problem was becoming frustrating.
Sifting through threads in the community, it had been obvious that this latest round of spots was causing display issues for Office 2013 applications in a much grander scale than previously, so I'm not alone with this one. It simply disturbs me that applications like these can cause display issues.
