BUG: Random Character in Wait Window After Set Default Options

The information in this article applies to:

• Microsoft Visual FoxPro for Windows, versions 3.0, 5.0, 5.0a
• Microsoft Visual FoxPro for Macintosh, version 3.0b

SYMPTOMS

When you change the default options for Microsoft Visual FoxPro and you have the status bar turned off, Visual FoxPro notifies you that the Default Options were saved in a Visual FoxPro wait window. A random character in the "Default Options Saved" wait window appears after the <Set as Default> button is pressed in the Tools/Options dialog.

The messages that appear in the Visual FoxPro wait windows are:

• Saving Options

  -and-

• #Default Options Saved

  where # is a garbage character that appears before the word "Default".

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
