This article was previously published under Q152515



SYMPTOMS
When changing resolutions with the Monitor control panel, Visual FoxPro development environment may not correctly redraw the environment. Windows may have blank, overwritten, or misaligned areas. Toolbars may be docked or positioned incorrectly. This behavior can occur regardless of the tool used to change resolutions.



WORKAROUND
The only reliable workaround at this time is to quit and then relaunch Visual FoxPro. Visual FoxPro correctly polls the system at launch time and will respect the resolution chosen.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article.



Steps to Reproduce Problem

 * 1) From the Apple menu, choose Control Panels, Monitors.
 * 2) Click Options, and then choose the highest available resolution.
 * 3) Launch Visual FoxPro.
 * 4) Drag the Command window to near the right edge of the monitor.
 * 5) Without quitting Visual FoxPro, change resolution to 640x480.
 * 6) Return to Visual FoxPro.
