SYMPTOMS
When using Visual Basic 5.0 in Multiple Document Interface (MDI) mode, it is possible to display the Properties window either docked to the main window (the default) or floating.
If the Properties window is floating and two or more controls are selected and you change the Font property of the controls using the floating Properties window, Visual Basic 5.0 will crash with the message:

Ensure that the property window is docked when changing the font property of multiple controls. Alternatively, if the property window is undocked, change the font properties for each control individually.
