{| = BUG: Popup with FoxFont Font Scrolls Down When Displayed =
 * width="100%"|

ID: Q110379

The information in this article applies to:


 * Microsoft FoxPro for Windows, versions 2.5, 2.5a, and 2.5b
 * Microsoft FoxPro for Macintosh, version 2.5b

SYMPTOMS
A GET popup defined with FoxFont and activated in a window that uses FoxFont appears a few pixels lower than defined when it is displayed. This behavior does not appear to occur with any other object.

RESOLUTION
If the window is defined with a font other than FoxFont, the popup will be displayed at the correct location. If, however, you must use FoxFont as the screen font, position the popup higher than the rest of the line. In some cases, moving the text label itself higher or lower will work.

STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

MORE INFORMATION
The following code illustrates the problem:
