Hallo
I have problems to place the cursor in a text with th keyboard. My users who allways are using the keyboard are very irritated over this "bug". I hope I can explain so you understand me:

When the whole or a part of the text in a field are selected (bluemarked), it is natural that if I press left arrow key, the cursor will be placed immediately after the makred text and if I press the right arrow key, the cursor will be placed immediately before the maked text. That works in allmost all programs, it works on the text in this message to.
But in my VFP7 applications it dont work the same.
An example:
If I mark a part of the text in a textbox from position 5 to 12 and then use the arrow keys, the following happens. Press right arrow key and the cursor will be placed in position 6 (between letter 1 and 2 in the text that was marked before I pressed the arrow), press left arrow key and the cursor will be placed in position 4 (1 letter BEFORE the marked text???!!!)

Does anyone knows how I should do to have this to work like in other programs? I have this problem in all types of fields that you can mark and edit.

Please help me before my "keyboardusers" get mad at me.

Thanks in advance
/Kjell
