Error when updating requirement after cut and past

[David Bernard]

I  have a number  requirements in a project stored in a postgres database.

The following error occurs when I attempt to save changes to the notes fields or other properties  of the requirements.

:Microsoft Cursor Engine[-2147217864]

Row cannot be located for updating. Some values have been changed since it was last read.

The next dialog box reports:

ADODB.Recordset[-2146825069]

Operation is not allowed in this context.

When I update the notes field from the notes panel the changes are persisted without error.

Other models in the project are ok.
There are no database errors reported by the database server.

Any ideas?

Hello, I have the same error but every time I edit a graphical element.

My EA build is 8.0.854.

Is the 855 correct that sort of bugs?

Thanks

Does this only happen when pasting notes that have been copied from an external source, or also when you type something in EA.

The reason I'm asking is that we recently had a peculiar bug in one of my addins. After pasting text from a pdf into my custom notes editor the text was all mangled up, and parts were not saved.
We found out that this was due to a rogue "backtick quote" character " ’ " (ascii 0146) that was badly translated from RTF to the internal "html-ish" format of the notes.
This is a character that we normally are not able to type using the keyboard (except when using the ascii value).

I wouldn't be surprised if the translation and escaping routine for the notes panel is slightly different from that of the properties dialog, which might explain the difference.

For your information, I just see that the error happens in Activity diagram on the Activity Element. Other diagram does not make that error and other element neither (like action or datastore).
