Yes, I have seen it; and I also cannot pin down the precise
circumstances that trigger it.

Also note that deleting a record sometimes visibly deletes but it still
exists in the .db; a "Hidden Record delete" is required; again, not
clear exactly what is the context.

The never-functional "Print" command disappeared with the R13 edition;
so did the very handy ability to import a straight .db and promote
it to graphical state (although you can still import and edit Hidden).

For those of you who have not tried GDCT in a long while, two features
were added over a year ago:
  -can remove as well as add exposed fields
  -can edit annotation text (had to delete/re-add before).  With the
   fix in the text-edit due to ivtools, this is more useful.


OK, JDCT folks: your turn to upgrade!
