That's a display redraw issue. Microsoft have been fiddling around with
that since about 1990. They have greater success on some platforms than
others.
What is happening is that the system does not fully redraw the screen after
pagination shifts things around. Word employs a large range of techniques
to save power. That's because it was originally designed for computers that
have far less grunt than they do today.
One of these techniques is "partial pagination" (don't recalculate position
on any more of the screen than you can see). Another is "partial redraw"
(only ask the graphics subsystem to re-draw the parts of the screen you
think have changed).
There is a bug in the partial redraw mechanism that results in these
left-over artefacts. You have found the work-around. There's no cure.

I thought this had been posted before at some point. But when working
with a word docuement and you change a group of text size, etc. I
always seem to see bits of leftover lines or a thin line after the
change until I scroll the sreen up or down out of site and then back.
Has MS addressed this issue?? I am still at version 11.2.3
