Re: [Thinkpad] new stuck pixel?

stuck pixels can become unstuck or appear without warning..
this is unusual but not unheard of..

your other anomoly is a software issue..
someplace along the line something became corrupted..
thus what you thought was a pixel was really a badly written
application..
or a dust mote on the display..
