Hello, I’m seeing the exact same behavior on my version of Word (16.11.1 - 180319). It only happened in the last month or two, so I was suspecting it had something to do with this recent change:
https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2018/01/office-for-mac-finally-has-real-time-collaboration-in-16-9-0-update/ <https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2018/01/office-for-mac-finally-has-real-time-collaboration-in-16-9-0-update/> It seems like that could be pretty a pretty major under the hood change to me. I thought it could have something to do retina/non-retina 2X scaling.
