Can anyone help me with this problem?? When I moved to 7.0 I encountered a problem with WK 11.07. All the text is now screwed up. Instead of getting 1 ~mshields> I get 1 ~ m s h i e l d s > The cursor is also somewhere around 4 characters wide. If I scroll the text all the way off the screen to the left and then back, the text appears as normal. Has anyone else had this problem?? How do you fix it?? Right now, WK is useless to me!! Help!!!!! Thanks, Mike -- /*****************************************************************************/ /* Mike Shields TA-extrordinare ( Yea, right-sniker, sniker :^) */ /* Students: "You need to show us how to use<insert _any_ application here>" */ /* Me: OK, glad I found out :^) */ /*****************************************************************************/

This has also appeared in Finder more than once (Sys6.0.4, and 6.0.5). For no apparent reason, text suddenly behaves as if it were 0 pixels wide. Every letter writes on top of the previous one, unless it's supposed to start at a different part of the screen. In other words, in the Finder, instead of saying 127K Free, it says *, where * is all of those characters in the same place. This appears to be linked to ATM, and I've seen it with ATM 1.1, 1.2, and 2.0. The problem does disappear when ATM is turned off, but is strangely intermittant. When it DOES happen, it won't go away even after turning ATM off and on again, and rebooting several times in between turning it off and turning it on again. It does go away when I turn ATM off, but comes right back when I turn it on again. Then, a few days later, I'll turn ATM on, and it will work fine. As if nothing ever was wrong. The strangest thing about this is that it appears to happen to Geneva font only.
