I found that in WIndows 10 Home Premium, the system locale Big5 might cause VFP's listbox not to display a row of data. When the locale was English, all records were displayed without losing one.
Is it an expected behavior?

I thought I heard that Home edition didn't work as well with VFP apps. Is that true?
ah that "I thought I heard" .... How rumors are given birth.
Nope, there's absolutely no difference between Windows Home and Windows Pro in regard of VFP9
wOOdy

If you are only using US English in language settings, nothing would go bad. :)
But I noticed that some differences regarding Chinese Hong Kong Language Pack between Home and Professional. It seemed that Win 10 Home didn't install Hong Kong's Supplementary Character Set. I didn't noticed the same problem with my old Win 10 Professional install.
Maybe I did something wrong, needed a few more Win 10 clean installs to verify. I needed to test more carefully.

Maybe you just need to go into settings / Region and language / and add the missing parts? Then if you have installed the language itself, then select that entry and choose options. Unfortunately, in Win10 it's not that obvious (No visual clue) that this "Language list" is actually again clickable and then expanding the possible options.

I never used any other locale than English and German, thus it would be hard to simulate that for me. Why not ask the chinese VFP Guru from "VFP Advanced"? He might even have a patch for that! On http://www.baiyujia.com/vfpadvanced/f_vfpa_about.asp see point 5.
