Tab Control Bug - Does not affect functionality

[Will.D]

Try this in LV8.2:

Create a new vi, drop a tab control on the front panel, and then drop a control (numeric, boolean, not sure it matters), and then highlight the label text.  Go to the top bar and click on the font drop down box, and then change the colour of the text.  A small 'window' of different colour appears afterwards.  Scrolling makes it go away.

I have produced other strange behaviour when setting the colours in my tab control, but have not been able to reproduce them.  If/when I can, I will post those also.

While this is not really a big deal, it's still sort've annoying to have to scroll when I change the text colour of something in my tab control in order to see it properly.

EDIT: I just found this with a control NOT in a tab control.  Previously I had not seen this...  Not sure why I am now.

Here's an example

Day,

This was reported to R&D (# 42A9T2G0) for further investigation. It seems that any forced redraw eliminates the graphic glitch.  Often a redraw can be forced simply by double clicking a couple times on the front panel.

Thanks for the feedback! "

Thanks Doug.

I really like the fact that bugs are acknowledged and addressed!  It's a far cry from the "Please send this information to Microsoft..."
