[fpc-pascal] outtextXY not moving pointer

[James Richters]

I am using a combination of outtext and outtextxy for an application using
the graph unit on Windows.  I am noticing that outtextxy is not moving the
pointer to the end of text as it is supposed to.   Outtext does move the
pointer, outtextxy is not moving the pointer.    

The documentation here:
http://www.math.uni-leipzig.de/pool/tuts/FreePascal/units/node9.html#pro:Out
Text

And here : https://www.freepascal.org/docs-html/rtl/graph/outtextxy.html  

 

states that both outtext and outtextxy are supposed to move the current
position to the end of the text.   

 

Any idea's why this is not working or how to get it fixed?
