I have had a number of occasions where the display of a form, or subform with a table box seems to have become corrupted. Most of the time the table box will show a specific number of editable rows and columns as exected, but sometimes the table box has been reduced to just two rows and a few columns which will not accept focus, i.e clicking on them or anywhere else on the form, or trying to use the scroll bars etc has no effect. The immediate solution is to close the form and reopen it (though sometimes resizing the application will work). This is a very intermittent problem, that is also difficult to reproduce (and explain). However, when I have experienced this, it is generally after a workstation has been locked, though a user has also reported it happening when switching between open forms. I am running Navision Version 3.6 on a Windows XP workstation. My question is: has anyone else experienced this problem (or anything similar), and even better have an explanation for this behaviour?
IS it standard forms or do you assign any properties (like XPOS,YPOS, WIDTH, HEIGHT) programmatically ?
Standard forms - I am not setting any of those properties in code. In addition to this, while I was trying to reproduce this behaviour earlier something similar happened whilst I was viewing the object designer. My screen locked and after I unlocked it the object designer had disappeared, and all I could see was the toolbar at the top. In this case, resizing the application refreshed the display. Although this wasn’t the first time I had seen this, I have not been able to get this to happen again today. Also, worth noting that the other Navision developer here has never seen this although we have similar workstations and are working on the same Navision application.
I have seen the table box of the object designer sometimes (only the butons are stying on the left side). The only thing to get it back was to close and reopen the object designer. Unfortunately I do not have a solution for this behavior, though it never happend on a standard form.
