I've got a lot further. 1) The problem is due to changing the console font, which the preference dialog always did (even if it changed it to a new copy of the same font).
2) It is associated with MDI toolbars, and never happens if they are not selected. I found one inconsistency: you (I think) have added pager toolbar buttons and not added setdata() statements, but that does not fix it. I can also trigger it by opening a graphics windows or a script window, but I did not succeed with a dataentry window. It looks like something is wrong with the toolbar code, which Guido wrote as a GraphApp extension and I have not much understanding of.
