Bug Description

Binary package hint: glom

Create a new database.
Create a table and enter to acept defaults fields.
Be sure you are in "List" view.
Leave the ID field blank.

For the first record:
Click and enter a value in Description.
Press enter to accept.
Click and enter a value in Comments.
Hit enter to accept.

For the second second:
Click and enter a value in Description.
Press enter to accept.
Click and enter a value in Comments.
Press enter to accept.

For the third record:
Click and enter a value in Description.
Hit enter to accept.
Click and enter a value in Comments.
Press enter to accept.

We have three records.
Exit Glom.
Open the database.
We have 5 or 6 records!!!
I think that each time I hit the "enter key", a new record is created.
See the ID field each time press enter key.

Yes, editing a field on a just-entered record adds a new record, even if the record already has a primary key (meaning, it was already added). That's a serious bug. I'll fix it.

 * glom/utility_widgets/db_adddel/db_adddel.cc
 user_added(): Call set_value_key(), like the old code did.
 Otherwise, each field edit adds another record, generating a new primary
 key each time, resulting in duplicate records.
