Visual distraction in Filter/Sort Data

I've just started to notice that when I click in the Filter/Sort Data operator or criteria boxes the cursor indicator | randomly shifts to the right by about an inch. See the red box in the image. The real cursor is where it is expected at the end of the string 84MJ6 if I start typing, but it hops back and forth when scrolling vertically over the box.This is from a Citrix Storefront published 25.3 x64. I have a few other installations and VDIs I'm going to check, but thought I'd ask.

Hi Chuck,

I just tried to reproduce this and I don't see it. Also I looked at the code, thinking there might be some hidden control behind that edit box, but there wasn't. This is just a plain old TEdit control with no funny business, as far as I can see.

What do you mean scrolling vertically? Hover the mouse and scroll the mouse wheel? Even though it's not a scrolling control? Or did you mean scrolling in the box below where the Where clause stuff goes?

We don't have Citrix here so I can't try it on Citrix.

For the vertical I was just moving the mouse thru the box. No wheel usage. At home now I'm unable to reproduce it on the same laptop in the same CItrix environment. Nor does it do it on my on-prem hosted development VDI (other data center). I'll take note of the actual Citrix VDI next time I see it and see if other apps on the same box do wierd jiggly things. It just started in the past week or so and we've been on 25.3 for several weeks. Nothing bad happens other than mild freaking out thinking I've pasted spaces and watching it jump back and forth. I'll bug my Citrix people next. Thanks for the feedback!

Weird.

When you move your mouse through the edit box, the cursor changes changes from a pointer to an edit cursor. So I think what's happening is that as your mouse leaves the edit box, the edit box isn't fully repainting itself, leaving the stray vertical line behind. Just a guess.

Next time it happens, see if it you can also reproduce it with the columns name and operator dropdowns.

It was also doing it on the operators dropdown, but not the column names. I didn't experience it at all today. I am subject to VPNs that occasionally make Citrix life brutal.

This looks to be Citrix. It needs to be run in High DPI - "Scale the session for high resolution?" set to Yes. Thanks for the feedback.
