Vanishing parts in an exploded view

I'm using SWX2005 sp0.1. I have created an exploded view of an assembly. When I add this exploded view in shaded mode to a drawing weird things happen.
1. Zooming into the exploded view makes some of the components disappear. Zooming out brings them back.
2. When I create a hard copy of the drawing the vanishing components are not printed. The print preview is perfect.
3. When I create a PDF of the drawing the vanishing components are not shown.

I have reset the SolidWorks settings to default as per FAQ559-507 without success. Is this a known bug?

Scott,
I've tried using Control+Q but without result. Even if it did restore the vanished parts after zooming-in (graphics card issue?) I don't believe it would have helped with the printing and creation of the PDF.
