Never rely on the save-behind feature, as this will not function in low-memory
conditions (it's purely a performance enhancing trick not a guaranteed behavior).
Instead, code your form event handlers to properly respond to form update events. If
the forms aren't [re]drawing correctly, something's wrong... so fix the problem, don't
mask it. BTW, POSE and a debug ROM can help you find and fix this.
