Keystrokes not shown until loosing focus

[Gene McGlasson-2]

4D 2004.7.3
Windows interpreted or built with engine
Windows Vista
Mac is OK

I think this has been discussed before but I don't recall a resolution.

A new record is created using ADD RECORD. There is a variable and a field
that don't show the keystroke until the enterable area looses focus.

The strange part is there are two contexts in which the same code is used.
Both start from a button click on the parent record.

In the context in which it functions as expected, the parent record has been
loaded from the table.

In the context in which the problem is displayed, the parent record has been
created and saved before the button is clicked.

Again, only on Windows.

Any ideas as to what is causing this or what a solution may be?
With thanks

I had a case where a layering of fields on a form caused problems.
The same field, with different options.  One was enterable, one was not.
Only one would be set visible at a time.  This caused my problem.
Removing the layering of the fields fixed the problem.

Thanks Dave. I did check for such anomalies and found none. I think I might
just be stretching things as I open an input screen with the option to open
parent input screen with an option to open a child (yet another table) input
screen. I think it should work but I think I'll try spawning another process
to do the last one.
