[comp.sys.amiga] WordPerfect Barfage

WordPerfect seems to be having problems running under Workbench 2.0 on
my 3000.  Namely:  the top or bottom halves of some characters seem to
vanish.  Otherwise, things seem to behave, although I have not done
extensive testing.

What can be done?  Here's some clues:

All fonts are Topaz 8.

WP behaves well in 1.3.

I fiddled with the "tuning" on the back of the case, but it didn't help.

When in Super Hires Interlaced (whew), sometimes columns of pixels
disappear (the bevels of icons are invisible on one side sometimes).  This is
the only other instance of the display screwing up that I have noticed.

WP kicks the screen mode into Hires-interlaced, even if I use Preferences
beforehand to change it to any of the other three choices.

Whose fault is this?  Could be:  My setup, bad programming by WordPerfect
Corp, faulty display hardware, buggy interaction with 2.0, or god only
knows what.
