hm - you can also take a look for the "paragraph" settings of the member;
mark the text and then go to "modify->paragraph" and look for negative numbers
f.ex.
at "before" and/or "after".
You can also try to take a look for the "html"-property of the textmember to
look for html-formattings that director can't handle via his ui.
Maybe also the "copy 'n paste" has refer to a font director can't handle ...
If it all not helps, copy the textmember into an empty project and place it
somewhere to download, so
we can take a look at it closer?

You got me. Delete the member and recreate it. When you paste anything
into it, make sure you paste nonformatted text. The best way to do that
is to copy the formatted text (from Word or what have you), then paste
it into Notepad. Then copy/paste it from Notepad into Director. That
will strip out any stray formatting junk that can cause problems.

Sadly, none of that helped.

You can download a blank movie with the text element in it http://cid-9506dd0138595131.skydrive.live.com/self.aspx/Director MX 2004/Text Element Debug Movie.dir.

When I press "Safety Information" followed by "Safety Notice", the text is
distorted.

However, if I then press another button, such as "Cautions & Warnings" and
[i]then[/i] press "Safety Notice", the text appears as it should.
