Field Borders Display Incorrectly in FM 7

[Mark Snyder]

Occasionally a field, or fields, will lose the ability to show the chosen field borders. A one pixel wide border will show as 2 pixels wide or might not show at all. Sometimes it is only one of the four borders of the field which will be incorrect. The field is not engraved, embossed or drop shadowed. The pen tool line setting matches the setup in the field borders setup. Duplicating the field will correct the problem. What is extremely odd is the field borders display correctly when viewed at 200%. This has been happening on Windows XP with SP2 and FM v7.03. The last time it happened was after duplicating a layout, all the fields on the layout had the same incorrect border problem. Although, it happens to fields on layouts which have not been duplicated. Looking at the database from a Mac shows the same thing. You can see the problem in layout, preview and browse modes. Have reinstalled FM once, did not solve the problem.

Any thoughts on why, or even better, a solution? Thanks.

I think it's a font smoothing and anti-aliasing screen redraw problem.

I'm hoping it's fixed in FMP 8.
