Hi Servoy,

Thanks for the new update. The performance improvements in the Script and Form editors are significant and highly appreciated by all our developers.

However, there are some major issues introduced in this build:

1 - If a form in TABLE_VIEW is loaded with just a single record, clicking into the different columns in the grid causes the data in those fields to be wiped off!!! - this one by far is the worst issue which should be resolved as soon as possible because this causes data loss
2 - The JSRenderEvent argument which is provided in the onRender event callback throws cast errors when attempting to get a reference to the renderable component [event.getRenderable()] if the component which fired the event is a data field (RuntimeDataField) or a label with displaysTags set to true (RuntimeDataLabel)
3 - Elements which are set as invisible (visible = false) are still being displayed on TABLE_VIEW forms (the grid generates columns for the invisible elements)

We also are experiencing noticeable performance decrease for some operations at run time in the Smart Client compared to the beta 2 - have not pinpointed exactly the root cause for this but in most cases it appears to be UI repainting related (at least the Servoy profiler shows that a method executes in 100ms where it takes more than 1 second on the UI to be refreshed and display the results from the method) Cases have been created for the above mentioned issues - just wanted to give heads up to anybody who plans to upgrade to beta 3 regarding the possible problems.

This is related to case 381357:

The documentation and sample for utils.stringReplaceTags does not reflect the change - only JSFoundset and JSRecord are listed as available inputs
