Hi, I discovered a strange behaviour on D5 that differs from D4 and is causing 
me a few headaches.

I have a StringGrid based component, and in the KeyPress method that I'm 
overriding I have the following code:

  procedure TVerticalDBGrid.KeyPress(var Key: Char);
  begin
    Datasource.Dataset.Edit;
    FieldByDisplayName(Cells[0,Row]).AsString := Cells[1,Row];
    inherited KeyPress(Key);
  end;

Under D4 Cells[1,Row] would return the string in the cell as you'd expect, but 
under D5, the returned string doesn't include the key you just pressed.  So 
instead of getting "Test" I get "Tes", which as you could imagine is playing 
havoc on my databases.

I'll probably _fudge_ this and change to code to be Cells[1,Row]+Key but I was 
wondering if anyone knew why the behaviour of the method had changed, or if I 
should be accessing the cells contents in a different way?

Thanks,
Mark
