3.00 WINDOWS buglist3.00 fixlist3.10

Summary:

PROBLEM ID: WIN9101006

SYMPTOMS Under Windows 3.0, when an array of values is used to set tabs in an edit control and the same array is used to set tabs in a list box, the spacing between tab stops is different if the controls do not use the default system font.

CAUSE Edit controls calculate the position of tabs based on the width of the default system font. List boxes calculate the position of tabs based on the font used to draw the control.

STATUS Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows version 3.0. This problem was corrected in Windows version 3.1.
