In Word 2010, if I am editing a document with Track Changes on in Print Layout view, it will randomly switch to Draft view, opening the comments pane (instead of having comments bubbles in Print Layout view). This is an annoying bug since I prefer the arrangement of information in Print Layout view compared to Draft view. Is there a way to prevent this automatic switching while still having Track Changes on?

This happens with any document that I'm editing while using the Print Layout view, with Track Changes on. I am running Word 2010 on a PC with Windows XP. I should also note that I have Endnote X5 installed, which I know can cause some funky responses from Word -- maybe this is another case?
