Hello,
one of our customers has updated from genero bdl 1.33 to 2.11.
Now there is a performance problem, not easy to describe, but I´ll try:
The customer can open a window with an INPUT ARRAY to enter
information-text. This window opens when the user presses a function-key.
After pressing the function-key, the user is entering the text without waiting for
the new window. In genero 1.33 the window opened very fast and there was no problem.
Now, the entered text before the window is open, is highlighted for replacement.
Then the user enter the rest of the text, but the first characters he typed are replaced.

Is there any solution ?

Thanks,
Uwe Pottberg

It a little hard to understand the exact problem.

Say the function key was <F5>, are you saying that the user could previously type <F5>abcdef and that abcdef would be the value in field1, wheras now they can type <F5>abcdef but because the window hasn't necessarily been displayed, the value in the field instead of being abcdef is now bcdef, or cdef, or def etc.  That concept is known as typeahead. 

If that is the case your problem sounds similar to an issue that was fixed in 2.10.01.  Pass through to your support center the exact GDC version and ask to check that Bz8622 isn't reoccuring in that version.
