PRB: Phantom Grid Column Displayed After Moving to Last Column (132365)

This article was previously published under Q132365 SYMPTOMS
When you press the TAB key to move across a row in a grid, after moving
into the last column, the mouse pointer jumps one column to the left and
displays a phantom column.
For example, this happens when the grid has these properties:
.ColumnCount = 4
.RecordMark = .F.
.DeleteMark = .F.
.ScrollBars = 0
.Width = 400
.Column1.Width = 100
.Column2.Width = 100
.Column3.Width = 100
.Column4.Width = 100
RESOLUTION
To suppress the horizontal scrolling effect and the display of a phantom
column after the last column, set the grid's Width property to a value that
causes the right border of the grid to be displayed in a thicker (bolder)
line. This makes the edge of the right-most column the same as the border
of the grid.
For example, add seven to the sum of the column widths in the example given
in the "Symptoms" section of this article. This suppresses the horizontal
scrolling effect:
.ColumnCount = 4
.RecordMark = .F.
.DeleteMark = .F.
.ScrollBars = 0
.Width = 407 && Add 7 to the sum of the column widths
.Column1.Width = 100
.Column2.Width = 100
.Column3.Width = 100
.Column4.Width = 100
The addition of seven pixels to the sum of the column widths is based on
the number of vertical lines in the grid, which includes the right border
of the grid. When the grid's Width property is set to 407, the right border
of the grid is shown in bold in the Form Designer. When the form is
executed, you will not be able to press the TAB key or the CTRL-TAB to move
past the last column so that the horizontal scrolling of the grid display
will not occur.
STATUS
This behavior is by design.
