[Dx4win] F8 bug in 7.01 ?

[Alan Zack]

Yes, I noticed that you must hit F8 again or FILTER>SEARCH in the drop 
down menu to insert a new call to search on.  In previous versions you 
could just write over the call when it was high lighted in blue and 
start a new search.  In previous versions I could search for a call in 
the CALL SIGN box then just jump to the QSL MGR box and also look for 
the call but not now.  When it acts weird like this all fields are 
blank except there is a ZERO (0) in the ZONE box.  Now if I see a ZERO 
in the ZONE box I know I have a faulty search and must hit F8 and 
start over.  Makes for a lot more hits on the F8 key than previous 
versions.  I still have ver 6.04 installed in a different sub 
directory and tried over writing a call when it is high lighted blue 
and starting a new search and it works but doesn't work in ver 7.01.
