[DUG] TDBEDIT funnies

[Rohit Gupta]

Ok, found the full symptom.

Its definitely in D7 and D2007 and its a basic functionality failure.

Once the modified is set due to user edit, it is not reset even when 
posted.  Its not reset when scrolled either.  Unless the new value is 
different to the old one.  So you keep scrolling and modified remains 
set until it hits a record where the value of the field is different 
than before.  Similarly when you go into insert mode, some of the edits 
get their modified set, others do not. 

In the app this paritcular field normally has the same value, hence it 
showed up for it.

Bottom line - CRUD
