Hi Lou,

I don't see such behavior in the Report Designer. By default, all added labels and fields stay visible all the time. You should find and correct the cause of the problem. I would start with deleting foxuser.dbf. If it doesn't help, try to upgarde to the latest video driver, check screen resolution and color settings.
