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?

Locked Question. This question was migrated from the Microsoft Support Community. You can vote on whether it's helpful, but you can't add comments or replies or follow the question.
That's not helpful if you need to use Endnote and Track Changes at the same time. Turning off formatting isn't an option.
I have the same problem.
Specifically, the switching to draft view or the jumping to previous paragraphs happens when you stay idle within a comment you add in track changes. It does not happen when I stay idle in the text document itself.
Would be great if Microsoft could indeed solve this problem.

You have replied to a very old thread. Which version of Word are you using?
Are you running EndNote as other posters in this thread? In that case, you need to make sure it is fully updated. Alternatively, try disabling the "Cite while you write" function and see if that overcomes the problem.
Note that it is usually better to create a brand new question thread (use the Ask the Community link at the top of the forums page). That way, your question will get more attention.
I'm delighted he replied because when I searched for this annoying bug it popped up straight away. Only just started happening to me and hopefully deactivating instant formatting EN X5 will help...
