      Summary

      Unwanted Field borders visible after field exit

      Description of the issue

      Has anybody else seen this one? Filemaker 11Windows XP, SP3 In list or form view, with a white background, if a field with no specified border is exited, the right and bottom field borders (which, along with top and left borders became visible when a field on the record was entered), remain visible after you exit the field. You can exit via keyboard action or mouse and get the same result. Switching to a different record sometimes leaves the right border, but the bottom now disappears. To fully hide this phantom border requires: Open and close the database, switching views between table, list, form, or switching window modes between Layout, browse, preview or find. This does not occur with filemaker 10.

          PhilModJunk:

           

          Using FileMaker Pro 11 with Windows XP SP3, I am unable to replicate this problem.

           

          In Form View, I have a white background, and a field without any border specified.  When I tab outside the field, the borders are lightly dashed, and if I click outside all fields and commit the record, the field returns to no borders.

           

          I've tried to replicate this on five different files.

           

          Do you have a file you can send me along with the exact steps to replicate the problem?

            Let me do some more checking on several different machines first, then I'll send you a copy. It might be a video card issue if you can't replicate it. I can confirm this happens with brand new test files.

             

            There really aren't any steps more exact than what I've already posted.
