Report Designer, Custom Text, boldFace property

This is minor, and I'm pretty sure I reported it long ago, but this bug
is still there and has been for many years:

Create a custom text control such as the one shown below.
In the Command Window:
set procedure to MyText.cc additive
* Create a report
* Place a table on the report (for simple testing, the Fish table will
work fine)
* In the detailBand, place an instance of MyText ...
*** NOTE: the text is not boldfaced.
* Save the report and run it. Voila! The text IS boldfaced.
* Open the report in the Report Designer, and et Voila! The text IS
boldfaced.

The problem occurs when first placing the control on the design surface.

// ========== MyText.cc ==========
/*
Simple text control to show problem
in Report Designer:
*/
class MyText( oParent ) of Text( oParent ) custom
with( this )
fontBold := true
text := "Boldfaced?"
endwith
endclass

Ken,
I have noticed this as well. Just thought I was going crazier then
normal! Happens with text label also I believe.

Thanks Ken. I don't see this problem specifically in the QAID system.
I submitted it as QAID 5722.

Thanks, Kathy

As bugs go it's not exactly disastrous, but it can make designing
reports a bit frustrating (boldface text takes more space than non-bold
....).

Thanks!
