INTRODUCTION
This article describes the InfoPath 2003 issues that are fixed in the hotfix package that is dated November 7, 2005.

Issues that the hotfix package fixes
This hotfix package fixes the following issues that were not previously documented in a Microsoft Knowledge Base article:
 * When you try to open a form in InfoPath 2003, the form may take longer than expected to open. This behavior may occur when the form contains many managed code event handlers.
 * If you programmatically close the task pane in InfoPath 2003 when the insertion point is inside a text box, you cannot move the insertion point by using the keyboard. Also, you cannot move the insertion point by pressing BACKSPACE to delete the character that is before the insertion point in the text box.
 * In InfoPath 2003, when you try to insert a new node before an existing node on a form that uses choice groups and repeating sections, the new node is inserted after the existing nodes.
 * You create a form in InfoPath 2003 that contains a text box that has leading spaces before the text. Every time that you click outside the text box, one of the leading spaces before the text is deleted. This behavior occurs if you select the Paragraph breaks check box. The Paragraph breaks check box is located on the Display tab in the Text Box Properties dialog box.
 * You right-click after the end of a line of text inside a Rich Text Box control in an InfoPath 2003 form. If the last character in the line of text has formatting applied, such as bold, underline, or italic formatting, the shortcut menu items are all unavailable (dimmed).
