5.60 detail view looked up value blank, shows eye and add new buttons only

UPDATE: MAKE SURE TO CLEAR BROWSER CACHES AFTER THE UPDATE! The problem goes away.
I am leaving post below in case someone else experiences the same problem.

===
This appeared after regenerating in 5.60. Nothing else was changed.

A field in Table2 is lookup up from Table1. Table2 list view displays records with the looked up field value correctly.
Detail view of any record in Table2 displays blank where the field value would be displayed, while showing the eye button and add new button only. The same is the case for several other tables using looked up field (customer name in this case) from Table1 (customer table).

The same problem exists in totally unrelated table pairs where one table is looked up from another. The detail view is always showing blank for the looked up value, with the eye and add new buttons only.

Is there a new setting that needs to be changed?

This has stopped usability of the system as basic customer info is always looked up in all related records such as orders etc. Thanks.

Update: Clearing browser cache (Chrome) solves problem for a while but after several record lookups and browsing the application the problem re-appears.

Update: The links to children records from the parent record detail view also disappear.

This has become a major production issue I hope I am doing something obviously wrong so it's a simple fix.
I thought I had tested briefly but sufficiently in my test system but apparently not.
Is anyone else experiencing these symptoms?

Update: The problem also occurs in IE as well as Chrome browser. Goes away when cache is cleared, reappears after some time. I couldn't find any navigation sequence in particular that triggers it. In one case it reappeared after letting the browser sit idle for 5 minutes.

Update: There is also corruption in displaying international characters in the list view of child records from Table2 under the bottom of detail view of a record from Table1. Looking at the dml files (using kdiff) it would appear to be correlated with encoding changes from versıon 5.51 to 5.60.

I have rolled back production system to 5.51 however I do feel frustrated.

the lookup controls show fine in detail view but no values are shown, when I click the control, the box is empty with the spinner and the words "Searching..." even though the parent table contains data.

started a fresh project with 5.60 ... previous version was working fine... does any one else have this problem ?

5.6 is working fine here.
Sometime ago well before 5.6, I had a similar problem that was simply solved by by clicking Reset to default query.

Give it a go, might help.

Was using default query but I reset it to default again just in case as suggested.
Downloaded latest 5.60 rev 982 and still having same problem.

Having learned my lesson I am only trying it out on a test system but this is delaying other updates to the system too and it is becoming a show stopper. Guys, please respond!

In this case open a support ticker right away:

An update, as the topic seems to be getting a fair number of views:

I opened a support ticket in February. The issue continues through 5.61 and 5.62 as of today, on multiple devices, o/s, and browsers.
Clearing the browser caches fixes the problem only temporarily for 5 minutes or so.
Regenerating (all clean setup) using 5.51 works perfectly.
The AppGini online demo doesn't seem to have the problem.

Bottom line any version 5.60 onward for almost the past 5 months is still unusable for us.

Hi apirnar,

I understand your frustration ... We take all bug reports seriously and you can see this in our change log. Unfortunately time is a very limited resource and accordingly we have to prioritize bug reports to make sure repeatedly-reported bugs affecting large number of users get fixed as soon as possible. We could have delayed this release till this bug is fixed, but this would have caused all users to wait a few more weeks for an issue that most users are not witnessing. We're doing our best to fix all reported bugs in a reasonable time frame.

One hopes this issue will be addressed in the next release, which one presumes shouldn't be too far away?
We continue to wait at version 5.51 until the fix is verified.
Thanks.
