First--great product, tireless service!

Annoyance with viewer in 4.7 (just updated from 3.xx). Sorry if already posted, but did not find where this behavior was logged.

There is cruft/noise visible in the reader. Most of the time in the left margin area, but also on the RHS occasionally. I have seen this in several fonts including Baskerville and the default viewer font. Noise will appear in blank areas as well as connected to "legitimate" letters. Size ranges from a pixel to perhaps the size of a comma.

Not a big deal, but does detract from reading experience -- especially when the noise is adjacent to characters. The severity maybe related to font choice. I have seen pages of say 20 lines where there are 4 or 5 render errors. I use a fairly large font, but not ginormous.

A couple of examples included. Thanks,
