well

the content of any text or memo-field is selected, when you enter the field by 
TAB
leaving the field (circle in the form) 
---- with TAB it is leaving content untouched and leaves field
---- with CR leaves content untouched , except in memo-fields, where it puts in
content (CRs), and this field can only be left by TAB.
So far it is okay.

But acualty I found a problem with my design (which is quite common I guess):
With me, the MEMO is always the last field for entering data in a form.
In that case, TAB has a double function : 
-- leaving field
-- implicit committ (forms circle in the actual record)

In this case, that behavior is unwanted, as if I unintentionally use the CR in
the memo, I can NOT turn back the last (unwanted) entry.

I am not sure, whether I explained the problem well enough:
Entering a MEMO makes the content always be selected (from taskswitching or from
TABing) - that seems to be normal (unavoidable). 
But the missing feature "explicit committ" TOGETHER with the state SELECTED in
memo-fields caused me problems, I need to change my design and add an extra
field behind any memo to protect me from unintentional overwriting memo-content.

Well, it would have helped a little to have memo-content in "unselected" past
task-switches, but if that is not possible, is is like that.
