Out of control vine popup

[johnpauls]

When entering data, if you click to enter a vine species, a handy popup appears to help you select the correct species. Unfortunately, once you enter the first vine, this popup continues to come up after you click on ANY other field. So for the rest of the plot you click on a field (such as dbh) close the vine popup, enter the data, click on another field (say, vigor), close the vine popup, enter the data etc.

This has been a long standing issue.

The popup behavior is apparently triggered by more rapid clicking of the buttons on the vine/condition/foliage sub-form. When the form is not fully rendered before clicking another button, the sub-form fails to complete the task and the popups continue.

Temporary Work-Around

• Close the event window and re-open it
• Slow the pace of clicking the vine/condition/foliage buttons
• Watch to ensure -- The label for the button (underneath it) matches the button clicked -- The summary displays the conditions chosen

NOTE This is apparently a tablet only issue.

Further investigation of the behavior is required before a proper fix can be identified - so adding "investigate" label to this issue.

Currently not reproducing in the office on the tablets, once we can reliably reproduce the issue it can be further investigated.

From John Paul (who is actually typing this)

The current belief is that this is caused by the subform not having sufficient time to update before the user enters new data. So, what you do is add the vine, then click somewhere else on the screen and let the text (list of conditions) on the right update. Then you can go on to add more data without the pop-ups.
