- Hello, please forgive me if there is a FAQ entry for this.
-
- I am using xsqlforms30 to design forms, on a sun4 system,
- using openwin3.0 and oracle version 6.xxxx. I am redirecting
- my display from a server where I run xsqlforms to my SS1 workstation.
-
- I am having trouble with the leftmost character of each field,
- and with the thin cursor. It seems that the box that is drawn
- around the field, plus a pixel or two of border around the box's
- lines, overwrites the left edge of the first character displayed
- in the field. Also, the cursor is not visible when it is on
- the first character, since it is just a thin line that appears
- to the left of the character it is on.
-
- This occurs both in the forms designer and in the executing form.
-
- Can I fix this so that the cursor and the first character in
- each field are not partially hidden?
-
- Thanks for your help. Email to me and I will summarize.
