Hi Mark,
Cause is sparse. As far as I remember that class didn't touch sparse nor selectonentry.
When readonly execute :

* ie : when
* if this.Readonly
* 
with this && or something like thisform.HighLighted1
  .Setall('SelectOnEntry',.F.) && Why below
  .Setall('Sparse',.F.)
endwith 
* return dodefault()

Do not set selectonentry in textbox level. Grids have a hierarchy to propagate some of the properties to controls contained in column. Setting SelectOnEntry at column level is sufficient (unless you set bound = .F.). I didn't include 'Column' as last parameter just for I was lazy and VFP knows where to apply :)
