   Hi Liz,   
      
   I had been having some trouble with fonts "changing   
   themselves" in P9.   
      
   I thought I had it licked, but the difficulty is back, but   
   with an additional wrinkle:   
      
   Now, then I type into certain fields, the blinking cursor is   
   not located at the point of text entry. Instead, it "lags   
   behind" the point of entry, and the more I type, the further   
   back it lags.   
      
      
      
      
   So, suppose I slowly type this line:   
      
   "The rain in Spain"   
      
   On screen, it starts by looking like this (with the "^"   
   marking the cursor):   
      
   "T"   
    ^   
      
   with the cursor "splitting" the single character rather than   
   just after it.   
      
   And if I then continue to type, it would look like this:   
      
   "The rain in Spain"   
    ^   
      
   and then like this:   
      
   "The rain in Spain is mainly on the plain"   
    ^   
      
      
   There is nothing I can do to get the cursor to appear at the   
   point of entry. But, if I stop typing, and tap the backspace   
   key, the "lag" decreases until there is only one character   
   visible. At that point, the cursor appears cutting through   
   the single character, rather than after is as it should be.   
   There is some sort of proportionality calculation happening   
   because the position of the cursor is precisely the same at   
   each point as I type, and remove characters.   
      
   Now, I tend to touch type, but when I do glance at the   
   screen, this situation is rather difficult.   
      
   And, no, I have not seen the problem in any app other than   
   Paradox, and though we run Paradox on other machines, only   
   one system has the problem.   
      
   Have you ever seen this sort of thing, and might you have   
   any thoughts about how I might correct it?   
      
   Many thanks,   
   --   
   Kenneth
