Picasa 3.9 problem

Have acquired a K-5IIs and shooting in RAW (Adobe DNG) or Pentax PEF and then go to view the images in Picasa (latest version 3.9) there is a purple line of various hues down the right hand side of the image. Viewing the image in camera this doesn't appear, also when the raw image is opened in ACR in CS5, Lightroom 5, Elements 11 or Pentax in Pentax DCU it is as it should be. I'm assuming this is a Picasa software related problem. Has anyone else had this happen?

When shooting in jpeg the image appears as expected with no line down the side.

Yes, I ignore it, cos as you say, once the images is converted to Tiff / Jpeg, there's no longer a problem.

I'm sure there's been a few threads about purple lines in Picassa Stan, and not just with the K5iis

No solution but the problem is old; see http://www.pentaxforums.com/forums/120-general-technical-troubleshooting/138656-... where it was already reported for the K5.

I have the same problem with the K5 and ufraw under linux (and probably windows). It shows in the converted jpegs as well (so some cropping is required), The problem is that the software does not understand the exif (it reports the size (horizontal x vertical) incorrectly as well).

Thank you all for putting my mind at rest. I'd been using Picasa for browsing files from a K-7 then a K-5 without problem so it was a bit scary to see the PL .
I have uninstalled Picasa so no more worries, I hope
