Cursor & selection disappear when creating a new window for a doc

S

When I open the same document in more than one window (using Window->New
Window) the cursor and selection do not work correctly. I can no longer see
the cursor blinking and Selected text does not appear as inverse.

Steps to reproduce:
* Open a document
* Create a new window for the document Window->New Window. New windows
opens as "Document Name:2"
* Notice that after switching between the windows a few times that the
cursor and selection do not appear correctly.
* Notice that when the problem occurs it effects all open word windows,
including email editing.
* Notice that closing the second instance of the window causes the cursor to
re-appear correctly.

I am pretty sure that this is a bug in word when opening the same document
in multiple windows. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
