Re: RDP V8.0.3Fonts and editing -- WDSCI-L

I have also witnessed the exact same behavior as Gary. Regular, almost
predictable. It has been happening for some years. Never thought it might
be due to my font. I use Andale Mono.

Dave, your problem with cursor skips does sound more persistent and
invasive than
the problem I see, and I know what you mean about describing the
behavior.

In may case, this is a consistent issue that I never close and re-open for
because,
for me, it seems to be an issue only when I stop editing and leave
source edit
view (open another member, refresh or navigate in another view) and
then return
to edit view, where, as best I can explain, the first key press is
at the expected
cursor location, and then the cursor skips to the second character
to the right,
bypassing the character I expected the cursor to position to.

I hope my English teacher is not reading this, and maybe I have shed some
light on your issue.

Subject: [WDSCI-L] RDP V8.0.3Fonts and editing

Something strange has been happening since I changed fonts a week or two
ago. When I used WDSCi, I changed to a Proggy font in order to see more on
the screen. A discussion on this list recently reminded me that since we
bought RDP, I hadn't changed the font. So I went out and downloaded
several Proggy fonts and tried them out. There was also a reference to IBM
3270 - regular 11 and that is what I settled on.

Now the problem, since that change, when I first started editing after
opening up RDP, the cursor skips and puts what I type at a different spot
than where it looks like the cursor is located. Hopefully that explanation
is understandable. I think I'd need a video to prove it happens. I've found
that if I close RDP and re-open it the problem goes away.

Any ideas as to why this happens, has anyone else noticed it, how can I
fix it except for opening RDP twice each day?

TIA,
Thanks,

Dave B
