CostsMaster's windows do not display properly when Large Fonts are selected by the user  3.0 At CostsMaster we take accessibility issues seriously. This problem is not a simple one to fix but we will endeavour to find a solution in the near future. In the meantime, if you have a large monitor and are running at a resolution of 1024x768 or greater try reducing the resolution to 800x600 and revert to small fonts. This will make all text just as legible but at the loss of desktop space.
Sometimes, when clicking in a grid, the cursor does not appear and it is not possible to select text, although it is possible to type. 3.0

This sometimes happens with the first editable cell of a grid. It is a minor display problem and can be resolved by clicking in another cell and then back in the first cell.
