MORE INFORMATION

Steps to Reproduce Behavior
---------------------------

1. Start a new project in Visual Basic and choose Standard EXE.

2. Change the font of the Code window to better demonstrate the problem. From
  the Tools menu, click Options. Select the second tab, Editor Format, then
  change the font size to 12. Click OK to save the changes and exit.

3. From the View menu, select Data View Window. This brings up the Data View
  window.

4. Right click Data Links, then select Add a Data Link. Provide the necessary
  information to establish a connection to your data source, for example, SQL
  Server. When this is done, DataLink1 is created in the Data View window

5. Locate a stored procedure in DataLink1. Right-click the stored procedure and
  select Design. This brings up the Stored Procedure Code Design window.

6. At the same time, note that the font of the Data View tree changes to match
  the font of the Code Design window.
