Hi!
I wrote an EMail to T.C. Zhao for the problem we have with
the latest 0.89 version of xforms, my mail is below and this
is his answer. I would like to hear some comments.
IMO that the behaviour is not correct as if I have an OK
Button I'm resposible of reading out all input before closing
the form, but I'll let you decide.

Hi Juergen,
I believe this new behavior is the correct one (almost). Just imagine
if you have a form that has an input field on it. You entered
some characters into the input field but did not enter a return
or tab. Now the form is being closed (maybe thru button Ok etc),
the input entered will be lost without the final callback.
However, if your callback is called every keystroke, there is
no chance of missing characters, and in this case, it feels
the callback should not be called.
This is one of the cases where what most application wants
will decide what the behavior should be. If Lyx needs to
release the new version, I'll not tweak the behavior further,
so the final callback remains for all cases.
