Problem with MS VS6 cursor and text.

[AmmerBow]

I loaded up my visual studio today to find that when i type in code, the cursor does not line up with with the text when it is being typed.

it looks like this

qwertyqwertyq|qwerty

the | shows where the cursor is but when i type the letters will show up after the y in last qwerty.
very funky. the longer the line the farther back the cursor will drop.

Has anyone else had this problem???

When typing, it'd look like:

q|
qw|
qwe|
qwer|
qwert|
qwerty|
..........|


And will keep going up unless you press the arrow keys for the caret to move back or click on a certain place in the textbox. The | will remain at the end so that it can continue on with more text that is typed and that text will be at the end. Sorry if I'm not answering your question, but I don't understand what you are trying to do.

I'm not trying to do this. this is happening to me and i don't know why.

like you said, when typing it should look like this.
q|
qw|
qwe|
qwer|
qwert|
qwerty|
..........|

but it doesn't. It looks like this

q|
qw|
qwe|
qwe|r
qwer|t
qwer|ty
.......|...
........|....
.........|.....
..........|.......

like i said. very funky. VB6 is messing up or i triggered some option. also note that when the cursor start falling behind it does not show between the char but rather in the middle, like a strike through would. i.e like drawing a line right down the middle of an E.
