>>Today I continued work on a VFP9 report (reportbehavior 90) on a Win7 machine. Trying it later on my Win9 notebook revealed an odd result: Only a portion of the page is displayed, let's say 2/3.

Yes, I've seen this on 2 different notebooks - one was a Lenovo the other is my MacBook Pro (resolution set to 1900 x 1200). I don't have any other Win 8 machines here to test with (and haven't had the time to set-up a VM). I've seen this clipping occur both with the VFP 9 previewer and with XFRX.

Yes, under Windows 8 (win9 was a mistake, of course). Good to read I'm not the only one. Indeed, 1/3 of the right-hand site is clipped in the preview and the printout.

From discussions in Lenovo groups I know that Windows 8.1 gave improved resolution results as compared to Windows 8. That is, more applications gave nicer results. However, there still are several appllications that display horrible, e.g. Adobe Photoshop. So, it's the manufacturer of the application who can do something about it, but it's also a responsibility of Microsoft.

Perhaps we are able to trace the responsible code in the reportpreview project and repair it. It is a VFPX project. I'll do some research this weekend if I find the time.
