On first boot, browsing the Utility menu with the down arrow caused the entire screen to "bounce" up vertically about 50 pixels, and then back down. It did this twice.
Options still active.

The installation instructions "Step 9. Special Note for DS2000/DS2000A users:" covers this kind of thing.  In fact you should routinly perform this solution after updating the Firmware in the DS2000/A to clear FRAM. This has been often mentioned here in the past.

I didn't mention that I successfully installed this Firmware update yesterday without issue, because I thought that it would be understood after my describing how to get the update and what it does.

Edit follows below:
Recommendation:  After FW update  ->  1) ''Clear FRAM (by pressing 6th grey button on left side in & out repeatedly during Reboot)*,  2) Restore DEFAULTS*,  3) Perform 'Self-Cal'.  *Ref. Step 9.
Note: When you look at System Info you should see Firmware '00.03.03 SP2'.  For the Full Version Info you should see Firmware '00.03.03.02.06'.

Reminder: To get the full firmware version info from the DS2000, follow these instructions:
1 Go to the Trigger 'Menu' and set 'Edge' trigger.
2 While keeping the Trigger menu open, you are going to use the 6th and 7th
  (last/bottom) button in the menu buttons on the right-side of LCD as  follows:
3 Press the [Menu7][Menu6][Menu7][Utility] buttons in sequence one after
  another quickly.
4 Then select System, -> System Info.
5 You should see something like this:
     Software version: 00.03.03.02.06
     Hardware version: xxxxx
     FPGA version:
     SPU xxxxx
     WPU xxxxx
     CCU xxxxx
     MCU xxxxx
  If you DON'T see this detailed info, start again, and press those 4 buttons
  faster.
  To escape from this mode, press again [Menu7][Menu6][Menu7][Utility] while
  inside Trigger menu, or reboot the scope.

Thanks for your help.

To be clear, I did in fact follow the exact prescribed procedure in the upgrade guide (including the exact steps you have listed).

However, on visiting the the Utility menu (on first boot post-calibration), the down button twice caused the display to "bounce".

The screen was never scrambled, the parameters were never wrong, and it never occurred again.

I think one of the "bounces" was timed along with the "Lan connected" message, so they may have been related. Might just be a UI quirk.

Muxr:
hey dadler? was it just a one time glitch? Is everything fine now? I am considering an upgrade as well.

Just one time and it was immediately after the forced-restart from the self-calibration.

It's been rock solid since, no issues. What I experienced wasn't even an issue, just unexpected.
