Problem

Symptoms: When the user is typing in a cell of a table and using a Courier 12cpi font, the keyboard buffer seems to be filling up far too rapidly. When the user begins typing text at a fairly rapid rate, the machine starts beeping after only about one-half to one full line of text. If she changes the font to Courier 10cpi at the beginning of the line, the problem does not occur. Why does the font selection affect the keyboard buffer in this way? Solutions: This could be duplicated consistently. The problem occurs when the screen needs to do a rewrite. If the user selects Courier 10cpi in her document, the screen does not need to be rewritten so the problem does not occur. The user can type her document in Courier 10cpi, and when she is done, switch the font to Courier 12cpi. The problem could be eliminated if the program was able to allow the screen to be wider so that the full table could be displayed. According to Development, the program is working as designed. Please submit an enhancement request for customers who would like this feature to work differently.
