FIX: Random Character in Wait Window After Set Default Options

• 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. This has been corrected in Visual FoxPro 6.0.

MORE INFORMATION

Steps to Reproduce Problem

1. In the Command Window, type SET STATUS BAR OFF and press the ENTER key.



2. On the Tools menu, select Options.



3. Change an option, and click the Set as Default button.
