Notes content in window flickers

Hi there,

It sometimes happens that Notes starts to become alive ;-)
This happens on my computer often when I do not touch mouse or keyboard and Notes is open.
When this happens, the screen starts to flicker as if someone would enter something that needs more space on the screen. This happens to me frequently but its unpredictable yet. It seems that the routine that fills the screen/window does a refresh with new changed font data or similar which has an impact to the size, expands the content (it gets longer and takes more space) and then jumps back to the old size. This can happen several times in a row and is quite annoying. I then move the mouse or type something on the keyboard and then it usually stops. Have it in the designer too (mask or LS Code open) , but its much much rarer

For me it only happens in open forms, never experienced it in views, framework or similar.

Asked IT colleagues several times if they have similar problems, but for them everything was ok. But now 2 more cases have been submitted to us by employees, who seem to have exactly this problem.
In one case, the fonts actually change and the cursor is also misplaced and it does not switch back ! Will have to confirm this.

Anyone else with similar observations ?
Or even a solution ?

Sincerly

Hi Joe,

You never mentioned the Notes version, bit and platform.

I have the 12.0.2 32-bit Windows designer client that flickers every once in a while while I'm writing code and my code is lost. It's like the client performs a refresh, but I think it happens to me when I get a newly arrived email. I've tried a few things but have never gotten around this. I'm not experiencing a font change like you are but just wanted to throw this out there.

Hello Quin,

thats right, so here it is:

Release 12.0.1FP1
Revision 20220404.1552-FP1 (Release 12.0.1FP1)
Standard Configuration

Edition Windows 10 Enterprise
Version 22H2
Installiert am ‎05.‎04.‎2023
Betriebssystembuild 19045.2965
Leistung Windows Feature Experience Pack 1000.19041.1000.0

Hello Jochen,

have you ever find a solution for this? We have serveral Clients 12.0.2 FP3-FP5 which show sometimes this behaviour.

Thanks

Harald

Hi Joe,

Please add EDIT_FIND_SUPP_FONT=0 to notes.ini and restart Notes client.

Please see if it helps.
