I'm trying this since 1998 ;)

Here is my fix (rel.4.3.Aa) maybe is obsolet in later versions:

procedure TIB_CustomGrid.UpdateRowCount;
var
newCnt: integer;
tmpInt: longint;
visRows: integer;
begin
if not FUpdatingRowCount and DataLink.Prepared then
try
FUpdatingRowCount := true;
DataLink.Dataset.BeginCallbackFreeze;
// Pohl : add a line
visRows := VisibleGridRows+1;

HTH.
