On render not firing for first record in list view

I am using a list view with an on render event.
It is not giving reliable results on the first record of the foundset. All other records display correctly. I notice that there were fixes to onrender issues in Servoy 7.3 release (which I have):

[fix] SVY-4958 onRender triggers only once when there is 1 record in the foundset and
[fix] SVY-4774 onRender does not fire unless selected on List view

but I am still experiencing issues with both display and entry of the first record.
any workaround suggestion would be much appreciated
