I've seen this. Something happens to the graphics hardware/software and the lines and buttons don't draw correctly anymore.



Re-install the OS on one of the affected computers. If it goes away, it was a graphics software issue. Hopefully, that's it.



Regards,

Salman

Maybe a font issue?

One was working fine with FMpro up until today--apparently there were some printer software updates in the interim between when it worked and present--suggesting those might be the problem.  The other had not been in use for Filemaker prior to report of this problem.
