I'm delighted you're delighted - I think :-/

I have had a search through. I tried Jasons suggestion of setting
AlwaysShowEditor to True - but it makes no difference. I also tried
commenting out the last 2 lines of TIB_CustomGrid.CMEnter - but that made no
difference either.

Also I'm seeing the problem with a vanilla grid - no embedded controls, no
special settings etc.

I agree - and its very scary when you are deeply committed. However I have
always found a way round - even if it has been to use non data aware
components to provide what the customer wants!

I think the problem is that grids are so complex and there are so many
different ways of configuring them that it's a very difficult area to mess
with. You saw this problem in 5 years ago - I've only just found it and
I've been using IBO for a lot longer than 5 years.

Since the problem occurs in a plain grid without embedded controls or color
coding hopefully it will be easier to find and will fix the other problems
;-)

I'll start poking around but I think it's probably beyond the scope of my
brain.
