Description Andrew Richardson 2021-09-10 21:13:17 UTC 
Description:
Our application uses a BASE file with an external HSQLDB server.  Some of the forms use a nested structure (parent, child, grandchild), as follows:

CUSTOMER form
 |
 +--RESERVATION form
    |
    +--INVOICE form
    |
    +--PAYMENT form

The CUSTOMER form has Data-Cycle property assigned "Current Page".  The LO documentation states "On exit from the last field of a form, the cursor skips to the first field in the next form.".  
In LO v6.x this resulted in cursor moving to first field in the immediate child form (RESERVATION) as expected. 

In LO v7.x, the cursor skips to the first field in the grandchild form (INVOICE), which is not expected.  This is a big nuisance and the user must use the mouse to reset the cursor position. 

Issue seen on Windows and MacOS platforms.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Using attach "Demo.odb" file, open the Reservation form
2. Create new Customer record.
3. Enter data in each field, using TAB key to advance
4. At last Customer field, press TAB to skip to next subform

Actual Results:
Cursor moves out of last field in parent form to first field of grandchild form.

Expected Results:
Cursor moves out of last field in parent form to first field of immediate child form.


Reproducible: Always
