No.  That it is impossible to fix.  It working on Client Access is just an
illusion ;)

I just made some updates in CVS which cleaned up field exit a tiny little
bit.  Try using Ctrl+K to exit the field (if you haven't already), but
certainly try after doing a 'cvs update'.

If this doesn't help (I don't actually suspect it will, but ...), send me
a tracefile and I'll look at it.
