custom tool bar on side of screen has objects disappearing regularly

[spike]

I've placed the custom tool bar on the side of the screen so I get
more length of my pages showing. The objects keep disappearing. As I
pass the cursor over the blank tool bar the objects reappear and are
operable. Is this magic or is it a fixable glitch??

Any suggestions.
Thanks.

This happened with early versions of Word2004 - have you applied the
latest updates?

I've also seen it happen in XL once (at MacWorld, on a private machine)
with an updated version. I demo'd it to one of the MacBU PMs, but I've
been unable to replicate it.
