What happens if you define the variables as Form Variables?

Subject [RBASE-L] - Disappearing text
Version 10.5. Client says this happens in a couple forms, but was
sporadic. Finally there's a form where the issue is easy to replicate
so I have something to work on.
Issue: if you type something in a variable edit field and are just
sitting in that field, if you wait about 30 seconds the text will
disappear. The value of the variable is truly null when you exit the
form.
Specifics:
1. Form is based on a table brought up with "edit using" on just one
row of data. No processing is done before the form is brought up.
Literally one line of code in the main menu option.
2. In addition to table fields I have a variable edit and a variable
memo. Both variables are initialized to null on the form's
before-start EEP, one is text type and one is note type.
3. The disappearing happens on both of the variable fields. Whether
you are on the text edit or the memo edit, they will disappear. Only
the one you are on will disappear; if you had entered data in the other
variable it sticks around.
4. Entering text into a DB Edit field and sitting on that field will
not disappear.
5. Doesn't seem to be a case of memory build-up. If you go into the
application and this is the first thing you do, it will happen. Not
just at end of day, after another heavy process, etc.
Weird, huh? But I can replicate it every time on this one particular
form
Because they often type long notes into that memo field, and they
aren't fast typists, they have been typing the notes in Word and then
copy/paste into the field and move off the field asap.
