Strange bugs found when opening forms.

Hi all,

I have a form with a memo field which is opened by double clicking on another 
memo field in a parent form. This form's memo field should then be loaded by 
the text in the parent form's memo field. After the child form is closed it 
should update the parent's memo field.

No matter what I try, with one exception, I can't load the child form's memo 
field with any text. The exception is if I first open a messagebox from the 
child form?!? Is this strange or what?

Here is the parent object's call:
res = memo.getForm().openForm('frmZoombox')

This is the child form's On Opened function: 

def eventFunc (form) :
    parentForm = form.findOpenForm('Contact')
    if parentForm == None : RekallMain.messageBox("Contact form not 
opened!?!")
    else : 
        #RekallMain.messageBox(parentForm.getGlobalCtrl('notitie').value)
        #time.sleep(1)
        #dummy = parentForm.getGlobalCtrl('notitie').value
        form.update()
        form.txtZoomTxt.value = parentForm.getGlobalCtrl('notitie').value
        #form.update()


If I uncomment the messagebox, it works, the child field is opened. This also 
works (even without the messagebox) if I switch the design form to edit mode 
and back again.

I also tried the standard method using parameters but that hit the same bug 
and proved to be a dead end. That is why this code is not as generic as I'd 
like it to be...

The first line of the child form's on Opened event is also a work-around 
because getOpener() fails!

this is from the manual:
object getOpener ( ) 
Get opening form
Return: object: Opening form 
If the form was opened by another form (ie., by a call to openForm or one of 
the related method), then this method returns the form-level object in that 
form. If opened directly from the list of forms, or from a macro, then the 
result is None. 

This appears to work just the other way around!!! IE returns a form when 
opened from the designer, but None when called by openForm(...)!?

Needless to say this has me stumped...

I'm on rekall 2.4.5. openSuse 103 (x-86-64) installed from RPMs.

I'd appreciate any help on this,
Thanks,
Dennis
