I have no idea where to put this topic, so I stuck it here.

Any input is appreciated as I am stumped.

The Issue:

We have a few workstations where the cursor flickers between the arrow cursor and the text cursor.

2 things: It does not happen 100% of the time, and it only happens on a few workstations.

We are running FM Server 11 to about 15 workstations. Most workstations are Mac Minis. The computers that display this behavior are newer (late 2011) Mac Minis.

I refuse to believe this is a corrupted system issue, but it's very possible I am wrong.

Help?

Start by making sure the client is running the latest version of FMP. Might also want to check the OS on the computers is up to date as well. Could be a problem with video card driver or something that has already been fixed.

Solving the corruption issue is as simple as downing the server, using FMP to make compressed copies of the files, and putting the compressed copies back into production. Saving compressed copy does not fix all corruption but it solves many problems and (importantly) does not potentially damage the file in the process, which recover does. (The recover command recovers data, at the expense of everything else if necessary. It's the emergency crew smashing down walls to save the people inside the burning house.)

Thanks, Vaughan.

All computers up to date. All software up to date.

I've done some more experimenting and it occurs when hovering over buttons or text entry fields. If that helps at all.
