Navigation Pane Incorrect Display (Word 2013)

Actually, "incorrect" isn't necessarily the right word. For some reason, the results are displayed in a truncated fashion. There seems to be no reason for this. I haven't changed any settings, and I can't find any way to adjust this. Any ideas? I'd greatly appreciate it!

 
FWIW, I can reproduce this problem, which has also been reported also in the thread at http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/office/forum/office_2013_release-word/word-findsearch-results-dont-fit-properly-in/863b1863-f47f-4574-8c2b-c9a4c37a75bb. So far, no solution has been found.

Speculation is that this may have been caused by the October updates. The problem has been escalated to the Word product team.

As Suzanne wrote, the issue has been escalated to the Word product team. That is all we know right now.
