Forms 4.5 login -- cannot type username or password

[bjgriswold]

Has anyone every seen this issue where the Forms 4.5 GUI comes up but
you are unable to type anything into the username or password fields?

We are using NT 4 SP 6 (TSE) with Citrix 1.8. The GUI comes up with no
problems -- you simply cannot type. Interestingly, you can tab to each
field and the command buttons, and use the space bar. And if you login
with these fields blank, a dialog box pops up that is also empty.

Sounds like a font issue, but I haven't determined if it is an Oracle
or Windows issue. I have tried to fix the fonts (just in case they are
corrupted) using TWEAKUI, but it made no difference. I have not
modified the uifont.ali.

I have no other problems with screen fonts, except in Forms 4.5.

Any help is greatly appreciated. I can rebuild the server if
necessary, but I would still like to get to the bottom of this.

Forms 4.5 has been desupported for ages, and obviously not been
certified against nt4 sp6
