Highlighted text expands overwriting other text in the report
Delphi7 and RB Enterprise10.07 build 2.
When searching a report the appropriate text is highlighted but the font
size is increased so that the highlighted text looks wrong. I'll try to
explain with an example.
I have created a report template which shows the data using "Arial" with a
size of "9".
When I run the report I get a line with the following data:
[Card Group"Access Group 01"] [User IDs""] [Index Number "1"]
When I perform a search I type in the following: "Access".
I then click on the "Find Text" button and expect the report to highlight
the word "Access" in the above line.
What I get instead is "Acces" highlighted and the last "s" isn't visible. To
the end user this initially looks like they have a Card Group called "Acces
Group 01" rather than "Access Group 01".
When the text is highlighted the font size seems to increase. I guess this
is why it appears to draw over the last "s" of the word "Access". Is this a
known issue ? Can I programmatically stop the highlighted text from changing
in size ?

In my quick testing, I was unable to recreate the issue you describe. Which
font and what font size are you using? Can you please provide me with the
exact steps I can take to recreate the issue? So far I have added the text
below to a TppLabel and searched on the work "Access" using Arial 12pt font.

The control is a DBMemo with the font set to "Arial" and a size of "9".
Having played about with this it only seems to be a problem when the preview
window isn't maximized and page view button "Page Width" is selected. Once
the text is highlighted try changing the size of the window by pulling the
corner of the statusbar. You should be able to see that the highlighted text
looses or gains a character. I guess this is down to the scaling of the text
on the page. I'll send a screen shot and a copy of this mail to your support
address.
