Keyboard shortcuts for heard-only, male, etc. are not consistently saved

Issue #532 resolved
Nicholas Aebischer created an issue

Background: Scythebill 15.1.1 in Windows 10 20H1

To reproduce the issue:

  1. Start a new entry using IOC taxonomy
  2. Enter, say, Blackbird in the species list, put “1” in its Number field, insert “>”, “≥” or “~” before it.
  3. Press the H key to enter a tick in the Heard only box, press Enter. The Heard only box is ticked, but no H appears in the Status column.
  4. Enter a second species, e.g. Robin, put “1” in its Number field. There is still no H in the Status column for Blackbird.
  5. Click “Done”.
  6. Reopen the visit: there is no H for Blackbird in the status column, and if I expand the Blackbird record, the Heard only box is unticked.

There is a workaround, in that at 3, if I manually untick and retick the Heard only box, an H does appear in the Status column and is saved. But when quickly trying to enter a bird list, it is easy to forget to do that, leading to data entry errors.
