SYMPTOMS
Some edit fields in Visual C++ may become blank when they are selected for editing. The fields that have this problem are grid edit controls. This can be demonstrated in Visual C++ version 2.0 when using the Version Information editor. Additionally, Visual C++ 4.0 uses grid edit controls in the Variables and Watch editors in the debugger.



CAUSE
The problem only occurs on Computers running Windows NT 3.5 or later and appears when the display settings have the font size set to large fonts.



RESOLUTION
Change the display font size to small font to allow proper editing of version information resources. The font size setting can be changed from the Display applet in the Control Panel.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a bug in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article. This bug was corrected in Visual C++ 4.1.
