I have this exact same problem on an HP iPaq 2215 (Win PocketPC 2002). I upgraded to the absolute latest version available for download. The overlap occurs under the same conditions listed below. As text is inserted, a ghost of the text is left behind overlapping whatever is shifting from the insert operation. Appending text to the end of a line does not show the ghost text. --- In [email protected], "dboicu812" <yahoogroups@...> wrote: > > -using HandyShopper v3.2 build 6516 on a Dell Axim X3i > > I've been experiencing a text bug for a while (since upgrade to build > 6516), but haven't seen anyone else ever mention it before. > > If I'm entering some text (typically on the 'Notes' tab, but could also > be an item's Description or Custom Text or anywhere else in H.S.) and > try to insert text before some already-existing text, the new text that > I add 'overlaps' the existing text on the same current line, making it > unreadable. > > To be more accurate, the existing text to the right of the insertion > point *is* shifted to the right, it's just that each character-space > from the insertion-point onwards does not 'refresh' automatically.
