Ed,

My assumption (a dangerous thing :-)) has always been that this was caused by the Window's timer being interrupted by a menu or combo or dialog waiting to receive input. This is true for applications other than FoxPro, as well as FP itself. Hopefully, Vlad knows something more about this than I do.
