I remember seeing this om my screen two months ago.
I too remember solving this by restarting.
Could of chronological reason not have been MPLAB3.40, maybe 3.31?
I too use 1024x768.  No big deal.

Fast on slow machines, much more stable (for me, anyway),
better user interface and screen area usage.
