Getting ItemStateChanged from more than one form

Question

Is this a bug in the MOTOROKR E6 or am I missing something? Advice from experienced coders would be really appreciated.
My MIDlet has to detect itemStateChanged for any item in the current form (Form1 or Form2 in the example) and update a ticker common to both the forms.
Works fine in any emulator including MOTOROKR_E6_E6e emulator.
Works fine in Sony Ericsson k700i even when built using Motorola SDK for Linux products.
On MOTOROKR E6, after once changing to Form2 and back to Form1, Form1 no longer detects itemStateChanged when typing a new value in textField1.
Please advise any workaround, I need to collect data from 2 forms, if I have to include all the fields on one form it would recult in unacceptable amount of scrolling down to get at the fields. The ticker has to be updated immediately when values are changed in either form.
Code appended below, IDE used was NetBeans 5.5.
Thanks in advance, Darryl

Answer 1

OK guys, I've found my workaround.
By using form.set(int itemNum, Item item) I'm able to reuse the same form and the problem doesn't arise.
Hope my experience is useful to anyone who faces the same bug in any Motorola handset.
