Summary:

PROBLEM ID: WIN9101006

SYMPTOMS

Under Windows 3.0, when an array of values is used to set tabs in

an edit control and the same array is used to set tabs in a list

box, the spacing between tab stops is different if the controls do

not use the default system font.

CAUSE

Edit controls calculate the position of tabs based on the width of

the default system font. List boxes calculate the position of tabs

based on the font used to draw the control.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows version

3.0. This problem was corrected in Windows version 3.1.
