hidden layout items

[millmaine]

A number of our users increase magnification of layouts. This sometimes means that to view elements at the right hand edge of the layout they have to scroll across. Since we upgraded to FMP12, when they click in a field that they have scrolled across to reach the window immediately scrolls back to the left, so that they have to scroll back to the right to continue entering info in the field. Obviously this is frustrating and time consuming.

 

Has anyone else encountered this issue?

To answer your question: No.  It is possible there may be a script trigger or something else that is causing a change that causes the layout to reset ( or more accurately leave the layout and come back ).

 

If a number of users find it necessary to zoom in, can you redesign the layouts to have larger elements?  If screen real estate is a concern, creative and well thought out use of Tab Panel can be your friend.

Thanks. I think you're probably right that script step leaving and returning to layout is culprit. As it never happened in FM 9, 10 or 11 I thought it may be a known issue in 12 and there might be some sort of fix. Nevermind— I think a design tweak is in order.
