Odd problems with FileMaker on Windows

[kenneth2k1]

Hi:

I have been noticing these problems for a while now and I was wondering if anyone else has seen em or if its just my problem.

FM Developer 5.5 and Unlimited 6 on Windows2000 Pro

Sometimes when I am in layout mode, and I select objects (fields, boxes and such), the handles don't appear on some objects like they weren't selected. It seems to happen mostly when the objects are on a gray background. Then I have to deselect everything and try it again. Holding shift and trying to select them still doesn't work.

Also, if the FM window was minimized, or focus was lost on the window, when it is refocused, both the vertical and horizontal scroll bars are not present. I have to minimize the window and re select it.

Anyone noticed these problems? I havent seen this on OSX. But I was wondering if it was my PCs that were screwy or if there actually is a problem with this.

Thanks.

When Items are locked the handles are grey ( ...on grey makes invisability)??

I notice from time to time the handles forget to get erased when another single object is selected but forcing the screen to redraw fixes that.

The scroll bars only appead when there is stuff outside the limit of the viewable screen, Is there on your screen?

Hi:

I have been working with FM long enough to know the difference between normal behavior and odd happenings. Redrawing the screen does fix these problems, but I was just wondering if I was the only one noticing these problems.

I guess I am.

Thanks for the response anyways.

I've noticed the same thing.
