Hi

Since version 8.0 of VFP I have experienced the annoying habit of having to often double click a window control in both Design mode and runtime before the mouse activates the form or control. Sometimes one click is enough but often it requires two mouse clicks.

Therefore I find myself clicking on a form and begining to type only to realize that the form is not active and nothing I typed was recorded. I then re-click on the item an begin again. This also happened when I was changing a table structure the other day. I changed a field type and then clicked on the next field type drop down box to change another field but it did not receive focus so then I had to re-click it again. This is especially true for listboxes where I may have to click twice before a particular element gets focus.

This never happened before Version 8.0 but it is an annoying feature/bug now.

Does anyone else experience the same phenomenon? Does anyone know what was changed and whether this is a design feature. This happens on different workstations so it is not specific to my workstation.

Thanks
Simon White
