Hi experts,
As we see in the attached file pb_shadow.gif, all our Text Items have a shadow that hide the first letter/number. This shadow make it difficult to read the value in the Text Item: in the example shown in the attached file, we don't know if the first number is 3, 8 or 9.
Do you know how remove it? We don't have found a ressource in Tk2Motif.rgb file that manage it.
Thanks for your helps.
Sandrine.
P.S: Our application works on Client-Server, not on Web.

I am testing all bevel values and I have the problem for all of them.
When I take the mouse cursor in the Text Item, a grey beam appear at the beginning of the Text Item. It seems to be the same size of I-beam cursor. When I move the I-beam, the grey beam stay at the beginning of the Text Item and hide the first letter.
As the problem is for the first letter, resizing the Text Item won't work. Do you know if it exists a property to move text forward inside the Text Item?

On Linux development machine and Linux execution machine, I executed the command "rpm -qa | grep -i Forms" and I get these versions.
But when I executed "f60run" from execution machine, and "f60genm" from development machine, I get the same version
6.0.8.25.2. I will ask to my platform administrator who will come back monday.
We have our own fonts aliases defined in a directory which is added
in the Font Path. The font used in Forms is "electra-moyen-gras" that is the alias for -*-helvetica-bold-r-normal--14-*-*-*-p-*-iso8859-1.
I tested all values for bevel property (cf. message dated Tue, 19 August 2008 11:17 )

Sorry about my later answer but I was on vacation.
The version of Forms builder used is Forms 6.0 (Form Builder) Version 6.0.8.25.2 (Production)
This is the Font properties and the values that we set:
Font Name: electra-moyen-gras
Font size: 14
Font Weight: Medium
Font Style: Plain
Font Spacing: Normal

Actually, we use Left justification.
We test "Justification=start", "font=Times" but the problem always exists.
The value Center of 'Justification' properties should correct the problem but apply this solution cost many times (we have more than 20 windows in which there are many Text item) and before chosing it, our customers want us to continue the investigation.
We post an image with 2 windows: we apply bevel none to Text item "Azimuth fin." in the first window and bevel plain to "Inclin. min" in the second.

a SR had been sent to Oracle metalink and today they find how to resolve our problem. In our resources file Tk2Motif.rgb, the value 2 of marginWidth properties (Tk2Motif*field.marginWidth and Tk2Motif*tedit.marginWidth) wasn't sufficient. With the value 3, the shadow disappear.
Thank you for your help.
Sandrine.
