Jonathan,
If you had editted lots of files/method before turning on this option all the old windows are still defaulting to what they used to be. Get rid of your foxuser.dbf to start a new one from scratch and make sure the option is on and your problems should be fixed.
>I'm experiencing slightly annoying behaviour from the code windows in VFP6. In the Properties - Appearance, there is an option to "Show Line/Column Position" in the status bar. It seems to work well for a time, but then disappears later. Simply switching the option off, then on again doesn't fix it. I have to quit VFP and run it again to be able to see the cursor position. Is there a way to make sure this will always be shown in the code window or is it pretty much broken? Has anybody else encountered this problem?
