Bad Bold Text Rendering in String Control

Run the attached VI and see what happens.

I think this happen only with string that have formatted text.

Note: This bug is present from LabVIEW 8.21 all the way to LabVIEW 2009.

It worked fine on my system. I noticed you weren't using the standard XP scheme. I switched to the silver theme and saw the problem. On my system, the standard blue did not display the problem. If you switch from silver to blue, it will not redraw the screen correctly, so you'll need to close the VI and open it again.

I am working with blue XP and see the strange behavior.
