Callbook field does not get cleared when typing a new call

When i type a call in the new qso window, and press tab, call info gets looked up at QRZ.com.
At the lower right a call + name apears

Then when i double click the call to get it selected and type a different call and press tab, the new call info gets retrieved, but in the lower richt , the call and name of the new call gets added instead of "replaced"
When the new qrz info gets retrieved, this field is not cleared.
For as far as i remember, this used to be the case.

ANY other way i select calls (via dxcluster for example) it does get cleared, also whit pressing ESC.

Seems like a small bug snuck in :)

HI!
New QSO/Help/Keys and shortcuts:
"2x ESC or Ctrl-F2 Empty all fields and prepare program for a new QSO"

If you change call isn't that a new qso? HI..
With DX spot 2x click cqrlog first prepares new qso, then pick up new informations.

It can be annoying when you manually type a call, then during qso notice a mistake and fix the suffix you will still have information from first call. It does not help even if you press F11. Proper information is then placed ONLY to callbook column, not to qso related columns. That is the way to keep for example already written operator name if he/she is not owner of this station (I.E. a club call or a second operator qso)

It is a property, not bug (like one famous W-os have lots of them).
I do not history of this, but discussion can be opened should this be like it is now.
