>When a user clicks on an empty textbox that is bound to a field, the cursor remains in the location in which they clicked. If the user then starts typing, they are entering data in the middle of the field.
>
>A second concern is VFPs auto scroll behavior in a textbox. When a user clicks at the end of the text of a textbox and then drags to the right, the text scrolls and they lose the leftmost portion of the textbox (they would have to hit home to get there).

>They find both of these behaviours annoying.
>
>The field is larger than the textbox which is, I believe, the point of the problem. Even an "empty" textbox is basically alot of spaces which I guess VFP reads as data.

>I wonder, has anyone else gotten any complaints about this behaviour? More importantly, is there a way to stop this behavior?
