Inconsisten Triggering of on_data_change for Popup menu

Classic Servoy
1

Hi all,

We have just upgraded a large system from Servoy 3.1.x to 3.5.5 on Mac OS X. The server and most clients on 10.4.x. Java 1.5

We have a number of global fields for ‘Quick-Searching’ in the solution. In Servoy 3.1.x you would type something in the field and hit the ENTER key, this would trigger a script attached to ‘on_data_change’ which would generate a popup-menu from which the user can select something.

We redirect on_find_command of the form to request focus on the first of these global fields.

In Servoy 3.5.x, the ENTER key only works very intermittently. It is possible to trigger the data_change consistently using the tab-key, but our users are used to the ENTER key and complaining a lot…

Anyone seen anything similar – and know of any workarounds?

Had same experience couple of days ago with Enter key not working on fields that had onDataChange method attached.

However both Tab & Enter work fine if you attached your Method to both onDataChange and onAction.

Thanks Graham! The Enter Key now works again.
