Typing Slow?

[spongebob]

Hello.

Im using FM Server 9.0.2.151 on a windows 2003 machine and my clients are PCs on WinXPSP2 with Filemaker 8.5v1.

On one of our databases when a client wants to type text into a simple textarea field (one with a small vertical scrolly bar) the typing is excruciatingly slow as in one character a second(!). You haveto type ahead and wait ages for the text to appear. In a normal text field beside it it is nice and fast.

This is on a pentium 3 900Mhz with 512MB Ram thats not doing anything else (I checked the processes). FM Client cache I tried at 8 and 20MB no change.

Any ideas anyone?

Thanks

Hi spongebob

I have had this problem in the past and it turned out to be an issue with the font assigned to that field.

Double check the font used on the field is installed on your machine, and probably best to use a standard font such as Ariel if not.

I hope this helps

Recommend you run the v3 updater both for Server and for client.

Thank You!

Well, I simply deinstalled and reinstalled the client and its fine now. I guess the user had messed up his fonts or similar!

Thank You!
