From: PUGH@NMFECC.ARPA Subject: closeField bug There is a simple, but non-intuitive way of dealing with the closeField message bug. A closeField is always sent when you press Enter after changing the contents of a field. By pressing Enter to terminate data entry into a field, the closeField message works fine and is as reliable as the person who is supposed to be pressing Enter every time. Granted it's a kludge, but how many people have not encountered bugs you must work around? Is everyone holding up their hands? The question in my mind is: Is it better to code around an annoying bug (as opposed to a fatal bug which MUST be coded around) or skirt around it like this until it is fixed? Then the obvious question is WHEN WILL IT BE FIXED???? I was hoping for a fix in 1.1 but I guess I'll wait for 2.0. Jon
