It's one of a list of related bugs that have been in the GUI since Fritz 5. It's all to do with the little boxes at the top of the engine window being created too small for the text that has to fit in. Although the bug happens very often anyway, do the following to provoke it: Let an engine analyse a position with Alt-F2 (preferably a fast thinker like Goliath Light or Fritz 5.32). When the count gets up to 90,000 kN, close the pane and re-open it by pressing CTRL-ALT-E twice. When the pane is opened the second time the node count box will have shrunk even more. Related errors are: 1. In an engine tournament long engine names (such as "InmiChess") will blink in and out of the box, or maybe they will shrink in and out of a smaller font. 2. If the long algebraic notation is used (eg, Ka1-a2), when the move number is greater than 99 the move being thought about will shrink in and out of a smaller font during the engine's thought. 3. The horizontal scroll bar doesn't work properly when the lines displayed are long, especially if they are being displayed in ling algebraic notation.
