Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Base Form behavior.

Hi Alex,
Thanks for the insight on the behavior of a Base form. In your reply you
suggested that I put in a request for enhancement after checking to see if
the same behavior occurred with LO 3.6. It behaves the same way. I have no
clue as to how to go about putting in a request for enhancement. Any help
would be appreciated.

Incidentally, the delay in the change of the window display is barely
noticeable as I cycle through the records. The caching you refer to
apparently works well on this aspect of the form behavior.
