Vague memory that I may have seen this, but unless such things happen
regularly I usually assume it's finger trouble!

I'm running WSJT-X on a PC (i7-9700 CPU @ 3GHz, 16G RAM, 512G SSD, running fully
up-to-date 64bit Win 10 Pro).
The issue I'll describe below is one that I believe has existed for a while -
it's certainly present
in v2.3.1 and v2.5.0-rc3. Here's the scenario, which is quite subtle and not
easy to explain in
straightforward terms...! As far as I've been able to ascertain thus far, the
issue exists for
both FT4 and FT8 modes; I haven't (yet) been able to confirm if it also exists
when using
other modes such as MSK144.
I'm having a QSO with a station, let's say it's K1JT, and we have exchanged
reports and I've
received K1JT's RR73 and have sent a 73 in reply; at this point the QSO is
complete and the
prompt to log the QSO has come up and I've OK'ed the logging of the QSO. Let's
say the
'Rpt Rcvd' figure that was received from K1JT and displayed in the appropriate
box in the
logging prompt window was -10.
At some point during the QSO with K1JT I was called by another station, let's
say it's N8DX,
who sent me his Tx2 message. After I've completed and logged my QSO with K1JT I
double-click on the N8DX callsign in the decoded Tx2 message, to start a QSO
with him/her.
I conduct the QSO with N8DX; we exchange reports and our RR73/73 and eventually
the
logging prompt pops up again, but at that point I notice that the figure
displayed in the 'Rpt
Rcvd' box isn't the one that was in N8DX's Tx2 message - the 'Rpt Rcvd' figure
is either the
same -10 figure that was correct for my previous QSO with K1JT, or on some
occasions the
'Rpt Rcvd' box is completely empty. In both of these cases I have to enter the
correct 'Rpt
Rcvd' figure into the box before OK'ing the logging of the QSO.
It would appear that in some circumstances, for example but perhaps not limited
to starting a
QSO by double-clicking on a received Tx2 message, the report-received figure
isn't being
picked up correctly from the received Tx2 message and hence isn't being
displayed correctly
in the 'Rpt Rcvd' box in the logging window, but instead the report-received
figure from a
previous QSO is being retained or the 'Rpt Rcvd' box is being left blank. On
quite a few
occasions I've had to amend an entry in my logging app (Logger32) because the
report-received figure transferred to the app by WSJT-X has been incorrect.
Has anyone else observed these anomalous figures being displayed in the 'Rpt
Rcvd' box
and hence logged?
