- Microsoft Visual FoxPro for Windows, versions 3.0, 3.0b, 5.0, 5.0a
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SYMPTOMS
========
When scrolling through a grid rapidly, using the Down Arrow key, the record
pointer disappears. This makes it very difficult to select a row while
scrolling.
RESOLUTION
==========
A workaround to this behavior is to SET TYPEAHEAD to 0 before running the form
by using the following command:
SET TYPEAHEAD TO 0
STATUS
======
This behavior is by design.
MORE INFORMATION
================
Steps to Reproduce Behavior
---------------------------
1. Create a new form, and add the Orders.dbf, located in the sample database
("..\VFP\SAMPLES\DATA\TestData"), into the data environment.
2. Drag and drop the table from the data environment onto the form to create a
grid.
3. Make both the form and the grid as tall as the design area allows, so that
you may see the most records.
4. Run the form.
5. Note which record is in the middle of the grid display, for instance, say the
tenth record out of twenty that appear in the grid.
6. Press and hold the keyboard Down Arrow key.
Note that the record pointer jumps to the bottom of the grid display before
you can stop the record pointer at the tenth record.
