Thanks so much for making it possible to scroll the grids past the bottom item.

A minor suggestion. On the bottom item in the grid, the down arrow currently has no effect. To start a new item below the bottom item, I have to press Enter. How about making it so that when the Down arrow is pressed on the bottom item in the grid, a new item is created below the bottom item?

Hi Jim,

Great ! It took a while didn't it...

It used to be possible to use the down arrow to create items, but I turned that off.

The idea is that using arrow keys should not affect items in the database. Arrow keys are simply used to navigate. The same is true in MS Word for example

Pressing ENTER will, as you mentioned, add new items.

Yes Pierre, I agree with you. Please do not change this.

I understand ... for one thing, if use the down arrow several lines below the bottom item, you wouldn't necessarily want to create a new item on each line.

Meanwhile the grid scrolling is not yet *completely" fixed ... say I am editing an item at the very bottom of the pane, and there are several "empty" items below it, but not presently displayed in the pane. Pressing the down arrow *should* scroll the grid to show the next item down in grid, but it did not for me just now. I pressed Down Arrow multiple times, still no scrolling of grid. BUT ... if I press the Up arrow key once or twice, so that the cursor is not at the bottom of the pane, and THEN I press Down Arrow, the grid will now scroll to the previously undisplayed items. Weird, huh? See if you get the same thing.

p..s. I'm hoping that the grid provider, having finally been motivated to fix the grid scrolling issue, will still be motivated to fix it completely. Strike while the iron is hot in other words.
