SYMPTOMS
If the font that is used for an edit control is smaller than nine points, one or more of the last characters that is typed in the edit control are not visible. However, if you select the contents of the edit control (for example, if you press CTRL+A), all the characters are visible. Some characters may again disappear if you add or delete characters from the edit control.
CAUSE
This behavior occurs because a calculation error in code does not determine the correct size of the bounding box. Specifically, a calculation that determines the overall width of the displayed characters causes the bounding box of the text drawing area to be too small when smaller font sizes are used. When the text string is drawn, characters that are outside the bounding box are not drawn.
