Blast from the past! Infomaker/PB 6.5 and the latest windows 7 updates

I am sure you are all rolling your eyes with this version of the software but we still use Infomaker 6.5.   This product has been working great and still runs fine on Windows 10.   However in the last week we have been made aware of a very strange bug,  we are sure it is related to a Windows Update but cannot work out which one.

 

The bug seems to affect Windows 7 computers and interestingly enough it also affects our Window 2008 R2 Citrix servers running Infomaker but not when accessed by RDP, instead only when accessed via Citrix.  We have one Citrix server that does not have the latest windows updates or Citrix updates (Xenapp 6.5) and this server does not have the problem.

Here is the issue:  

 

I open a datawindow in Infomaker and add a text object , I then right click on the object, go to the Font tab and change the font size.  I click Apply and the text object is sized to a massive size and the font is switched to a random other font.   If however I change the font size by clicking in the header this does not happen. 

 

We have 4 very similar computers (same hardware, version of office, OS) and 2 computers are affected by this and 2 are not.  I have gone through looking at windows updates and compiled a list of updates of that are on the offending computers and not on the other computers.  I removed updates KB3013455, KB3029944, KB3032323, KB3046306 as ones that might affect this but to no avail.

 

Any ideas?
