Scroll bar jumps sideways after script trigger

[VirtualBob]

I have a simple script that does a copy and paste then commit record in summary view. But at the end of the action the record window jump scrolls to the far rhs. I've removed the tab keys for the fields on the right hand side so its not that. Is there a simple explanation or is there a function I can add that will stop or revert this action. FMP 15.

Can you post a simple file (preferably a new one) showing this?

I found the issue - I'd somehow duplicated the date field in the right of the record so it had the cursor in it on commit and jumped to there. Its been an issue for while but never picked up the obvious.

You should probably use Set Field instead of copy and paste. Set Field works at data level so the cursor does not need to go into any field. And it keeps your clipboard intact in case you have something on it that you (the user) want to use later.

Yes that would be better. I'm stuck in my old ways and forget about Set Field and the like.
