Cursor problem

Does anyone experience the problem with the cursor in text field? When I'm typing text, the cursor moves further then the character width, so that when the text reaches middle of the box the cursor is already outside. It is very irritating and it makes editing the text very hard for user, as it's impossible to put cursor in the right position in the text.
I understand that it's probably a Paradox problem. I'm using Paradox 10. I have no code, nothing special connected to this text field.
Maybe someone already saw this and knows how to fix it, or some way around it? Thanks.
 
Novice001,

Try:

-- See if Large Fonts are enabled. If so, switch back to Small Fonts and see if that makes a difference.

-- Try changing the font of the field object to a proportional spaced one, especially if you're creating a password dialog and using calculated fields to mimic password entry fields.

-- Verify that the stylesheet that Paradox has assigned to your form actually exists on the computer you're using the form on (details at
Hope this helps...
