Jason,
I just downloaded 4.8.5. and tried it with my bug demo application: Error is still there! Locate
operation is never returing when the fetching operation is canceled.

I tried to locate the place, where the endless loop occurs when the fetching operation is
canceled.
It's in ib_components, lin 35043, function TIB_BDataset.LookupKeyForFields: boolean;
in this code snipped:
if tmpCurLevel = FKeyLookupMaxLevel then
if not SysLookupKeyForFields then
FKeyLookupRef.Pos := InvalidNodePos;

The SysLookupKeyForFields function is looping (or at least: never returning).

Within this function it is trapped in this loop part:

while ( not Assigned( FKeyLookupRef.Node )) and
( not Result ) and
( not CursorEof ) and
( FAGen = FetchingAbortedGen ) and
( curCursorGen = FCursorGen ) do
begin
Inc( tmpRow );
SysFetchNext;
if tmpCurLevel = FKeyLookupMaxLevel then
begin
if tmpRow <> CursorRowNum then
// Somehow (via callbacks) there were additional fetches
// performed that did not pass through the code below to check
// for a match. So, by checking the nodelist we see if the
// match slipped by.
SysLookupNodeList *************** here the process is jumping back to the WHILE
statement

It's hard for me to follow the operations IBO is doing here. If that is of any help I can slim
down my own database to the table my bug sample app is using and send it by email.

Regards
Gunther
