Hyperlink Dialogue Fails Sometimes

Submitted by WayneK on 2017/06/22 14:42
I don't think I posted about this before because I was holding off to see if it'd been fixed but I see that I still have the problem in 9.97a.
 
When I create a hyperlink in the grid, and close the dialogue, the cell is sometimes left blank instead of creating the link.  It just happened three times in a row on the same link.  Annoying because I usually type out detailed descriptions that are lost.  I guess I'll have to copy the descriptions to save them until this can get fixed.  I haven't been able to figure out any pattern to it.
 
1) I thought it might be related to using forbidden symbols in the description but it occurs even with text only descriptions.
 
2) In the current example, the same entries failed three time in a row, so I reduced the description to one word.  That worked.  Then I added one word at a time to the description and each time it worked.  In the en

Showing Items in a Different Context (e.g. in context of items entered before/after)

I am thinking it would be useful to be able to show an item in the context of a number of the items I created/edited immediately before the current item.  As well as many other possible contexts that could be defined in different grids.
 
The Shown In Grids links in the Properties Pane provides a convenient way to show an item in different useful contexts.

Disappearing cursor

I know this is an old problem that has been solved then re-appeared several times but my cursor has started disappearing in the grid.  For me, the problem went away through several versions over the past few months, but has shown up again with my upgrade to 9.97a.
 
As before, the problem appears randomly.  Once it fails to show in a particular cell, it won't appear no matter how many times I leave, return, and re-try.
 
Also, rather than start another thread, I'll mention again another old problem that appeared some time back and hasn't been fixed as of 9.97a: 
 
1) Add field to form
2) Form list collapses instead of staying open like it should.  (I think there are other cases where it collapses when it shouldn't but this one occurs 100% of the time for me).

I noticed that when you select an item, it highlights both that item and the column header.  I assumed this was a new feature but wonder if it's related to the following behavior:
 
1) Select item.
2) Paste text (ctrl-v)
3) Text is pasted, but the grid view switches to the top of the grid.
 
I've confirmed this multiple times in two files.  Note: it only occurs if you're in cell select mode.  If you double-click to enter edit mode, the text pastes correctly without the view switching to the top of the screen
