Glom 1.8.7 Field Definition changes not saved.

[Maximiliano]

Binary package hint: glom

Glom 1.8.7 (update from 1.8.3)
Ubuntu 9:04 (update from 8:10)

When create a new database the list choises of a field don't work. No problem with olds databases I have or with the Glom samples. The problem is with a new database.

Menu Developer>Fields>Select a text field>Edit>Format>Options tab>Select List of choices>Add some choices>Save
Menu User, all seams ok (the database is empty, with no field entered yet), can see the choices under List and Details.
Exit Glom.
Enter Glom, and no choices, all blank like a simple text field.

Actually, no field changes were being saved - not even the title. Thanks for catching this awful bug. It's fixed with this commit, and I'll release and package a new version soon:

 Really save field changes again.

 * glom/libglom/document/document_glom.cc: set_table_fields():
 Avoid the broken attempt at optimization, so that field changes are always
 saved, for instance when changing them via the Field Definition dialog.
