Hmm. Is the text field the *only* field of the sub form? In this case I
could in fact imagine this bug happening :-\. Do you mind to submit an
issue for this, preferrably attaching your sample database?

Is this reproducible? Never heard of anything like this, and never
encountered this.

Surely not, but without an idea why it happens to you and not to others
... :(

Not sure what you mean.

As long as you edit the fields, and don't move to another record in the
respective form, you in fact *do* work on a copy: The data will not be
committed to the database. Only when you press the "Save Record" button,
or move to another record, then the changes will be saved.
