Since rc 8 my text cursor is no longer displayed correctly in fields when entering text. It appears that the spacing used by the screen representation of the cursor to advance one character is larger than the actual character spacing resulting in the screen representation of the cursor getting further and further away from its actual position as more text is entered!
When I start typing into a field the text cursor is positioned at the start of the field correctly.
The attached image shows where the cursor appears after the words text entry field have been entered. I have not typed any spaces after the word ‘field’, yet the cursor appears to be a number of spaces further on. If I press the delete field from the position shown the last letter of ‘field’ will be deleted, yet the cursor still appears too far to the right. This also means that I cannot place the cursor accurately in any body of text. The more text there is the further out of position the cursor is!
Has anyone else had this (strange!)experience?
