I've had a few such cases of my own, and I wrote the above just as an explanation of what's probably going on, and why I don't think the problem will go away.

IMO, the bug is not in ctrl+s behavior per se, it's in VFP's use of some system service for console output - which has had this behavior even before DOS. It may have been cleaner if they wrote that from scratch, without all of the historical baggage.

In this case, I think the best you can realistically expect to have is a decent workaround.
