Hm... thanks. I guess you also have in mind something, that Ulrich
pointed out: that I forgot to mention that the problem is related to a
custom form_do() handler. However, I believe that form_keybd() is rarely
used outside custom form_do() handlers.

Anyways, as I understood, the radiobuttons must in this case be deselected
manually. That's a great pity, because it would be only second case, when
I have to process objects manually in this handler ;) The rest of the
things GEM does semi-automatically, which I find very nice. Perhaps the
form_keybd() extension wasn't very well thought over, I don't know.
