Losing data when quitting

[Paul Looney]

Timothy, Bill,
I created a new main stack.
Named it "Throw Away".
Added a field.
Saved the stack.
Typed "Hello World" into the new field.
Quit Rev.
Reopened "Throw Away" - no "Hello World".
Then I retyped "Hello World", saved the stack, and quit Rev.
Reopened "Throw Away" - "Hello World" was there.

(OS X 10.4.11, 1.67 MHz, 17" G4 PowerBook; Rev 3.0)

There has been a problem (bug?) in Rev for a long time when it comes  
to putting data into (or editing) a single field. If you leave a card  
with data in that final, single, field then no "closefield" message  
is sent. These is less of a problem (and not as noticeable) when  
editing multiple fields where a "closeField" is sent to all but the  
last.
This is a particular problem if  you are using a card as a front end  
to a database - and relying on close field to update the DB. Every  
workaround we've tried has created additional problems.
