Hi List!

Here is a message I received from the phpMyAdmin
Greek translator about a problem he faced.

Hi there,

I didn't know exactly whom I am supposed to contact about 
this, so please forgive the intrusion if you're not the right 
person.

My name is Kyriakos, I'm the guy who's been doing the 
Greek language translations for the past few version and an 
avid PMA user. I download the new releases all the time and 
test them out. A few hours ago I downloaded the latest dev 
release of 2.3.1 release on Sep 5th. Having set up a special 
PMA db in order to use the relation views, pdf etc, I started 
browsing my databases to check the new stuff you guys are 
coding.

While browsing a database, I saw a record I wanted to edit in 
a table that I had set relations for. I clicked the 'Edit' link and 
once the edit page loaded, everything was wrong. From what 
it seems, the dropdown feature messes everything up. The 
fields I had created the relations for where the 2nd and 3rd 
fields in the table. 

The problem was this: First of all the dropdown lists appeared 
as they should, but they didn't have the appropriate value pre-
selected (I don't know if it should be). Secondly, all fields after 
these two were blank dropdown lists. These fields should be 
text fields or numeric or varchar etc. But they were just empty 
dropdown lists.

Since according to the changelog you have done further work 
since Sep. 5th, I tried this on the demo server you have on 
phpmyadmin.net. I created a new table (I named it tdktest) 
and added an smallint field, a text field, a second smallint 
field, and the two more text fields. I then related the second 
smallint field with the first one. Once I tried to edit a record in 
the table, all fields after the second smallint field where empty 
dropdown lists. The text field before it was ok.
I did not drop the table in order for you to check it out. I know 
that all this is still under construction, but I thought I'd let you 
guys know.

That's all I guess. Keep up the good work :)

Best regards, 
Kyriakos
