I'm using FIBPlus and .ExTestConnected() which gives more or less the
same effect :) But this fixes it only for my own programs.

The problem is actually with commercial programs - EMS FB Manager in
my case and probably with all others. This problem didn't exist with
FB1/IB6, although I'm not 100% sure. It is very annoying though - for
example you answer the phone in the middle of table editing etc. and
not only lose edits but also lose track, where you were ..
