Conditional value list not updating

this is all being done in fm 8 advanced, despite what the profile says.

i have a file with a conditional value list. it is working fine, however, i have set the layout to auto save and still when i exit the field that the condition is based on which is the client field, the matter field will not show the correct matters until i click out of all the fields, sometimes it takes several clicks outside the field.

the way the condition works is this: there is a calculation field that automatically names a record based on the type of client entered. if it equals that in a matter database, then those corresponding matters show up in a matter field on the main table. this auto updated without a problem in fm 6. is this a bug? is there a work around? or am i doing something wrong?

thanks in advance,
