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?

Endnote works fine has done for some time. it is not problematic, nor is its add in, that is a red herring. The problem of switching is recent started last night after downloading copy of document worke on by colleagues in the states.
what is the next solution? disabling add ins did not work, problem still occurs and is maddening.
please help as it switches back every couple of minutes or so.
If you run Word in Safe mode for a while (for troubleshooting purposes), do you still see the problem?
I contacted Endnote support. They said to turn off instant formatting, and it worked. Here is the whole message:
Since this happens only in Word 2010, it seems to be an issue with Microsoft Word. You can work around this by disabling track changes or instant formatting in Word.
Do you have Track Changes turned on in your document? If yes, please turn it off. You may refer to the following link for more information on this:

Check if this helps fixing the issue.
If the issue persists, you may need to turn of instant formatting.
