I am trying to reproduce your problem in version 5.17.

Are you referring to the section box in each of the patient fields?

i.e.:
SECTION TEXT (IMAGINE THE TEXT BOXES)

Chief Complaint
HPI
ROS


I have found that you can type in TEXT field, and inadVertently
move the cursor to A DIFFERENT SECTION under the SECTION part and select another section of the chart, you will lose what you type.

This has been present since this change was made.

I am not sure that my answer is clear enough.

I would be happy to share this frustration with you if you
would like to speak over the phone or email directly at
rgobao@comcast.net.
