F5 for Copy field doesn't work anymore

I just recently updated from Sesame 1.1.2 to 1.1.4 and F5 to copy field from previous form doesn't work anymore.  Did I miss a change somewhere along the line?  I read the change log and didn't see anything on it.  Any help?  Huh

If the Layout Element is on a tab, F5 to ditto the value will not work in 1.1.4. Development is looking into it.

In the meantime (till the next release), as a workaround, you can use F11/Shift-F11 which will work on tab pages. Just remember to set the copy spec so as to only include the elements you are interested in.

If you want to ditto a value you just typed in the previous record, click in the field you want to ditto and press Ctrl-Enter. You will get a list of your last 10 entered values in that field for the current session.

The element is on a tab page (They all are).  So that explains it.  The work arounds, I'm afraid, are too complicated for the users.  Any idea on when we could see a fix?

We just write the software here, we don't make release decision. Pretty much, we get told when you do. In the meantime, I'd try Erika's suggestion again.
