Little OI bug (OpenInsight Specific)

If you have a list box control (one you can type into), when entering some text in this control it changes to a match from the list of valid entries.
This only happens when the PAGELIST property is set to -1.
For example, we have a screen with a multi-tab folder interface.
The dropdown is outside the group, and therefore changed so that it appears on every page.
The dropdown has a list of valid codes, eg 1234, 2345, 3456.
Enter a code to create an new one, eg 123.
Change tabs, and the text property changes to 1234, because 1234 is a valid one in the list.
Does not happen changeing pages manually if PAGELIST is zero.
Workaround I am using is to include the new code in the list temporarily until the record is saved, or exited etc.
Hopefully it can be fixed at some time in the future.
I suspect that OI is destroying and recreating the control and resetting its values causing this problem.

Colin,
Have you reported this error before? There are old postings discussing PAGELIST and combo boxes, some of them written by you.

No I have only just found this problem.
I will however have a search for PAGELIST and see what has been raised previously.

Ooops, I had a search and found that I had raised this before.
My brain is obviously getting fried by something….
One day I will search BEFORE I raise a question.

Colin,
Similar things happen to me. Could be Programmer's Spongiform something caught from too much recycling of old Basic+ code.
