dhtmlxTree dataprocessor sample malfunction

Refer to the following gallery - http://www.hsyst.com.au/gallery/main.php?g2_view=core.ShowItem&g2_itemId=629

These images show the issues I was having with the dhtmlxTree dataprocessor. I believe there are some "refresh" errors in the samples as provided in the download.

Fig. _samples_tree_db
Shows the table samples_tree as constructed by executing the SampleDB.sql DDL

Fig. _insert_01
Shows the error that happens every time you insert a record. To get these items in the tree required a number of "Add node..." executions. The error was consistent for each insert. Some node items were amended directly in the database.

Fig. _insert_02
Shows the associated records in the table. It also shows that the GUID is not really a globally unique identifier.

Fig. _insert_03
Shows an attempt at editing the child of "Brother" node. The usual error was returned. (It would appear that the error message dialog box is modal and I had to close it to get a screen shot).

Fig. _insert_04
Shows, that despite the "Bro1 Son01" was still in bold text in the tree, its associated record in the table had been updated.

Fig. _insert_05
Shows that "Bro1 Son01" was still in bold text even though I had used the navigation keys to traverse up the tree to the parent and back down again. I had "Add node ..." again and edited the "New Item" to "Bro1 Son02" . Both leaf nodes are in bold text still.

Fig. _insert_06
Shows that "Bro1 Son02" had been inserted into the table. It also shows, what I suspect, are two "New item" nodes that were created when using the navigations keys as in above.

Fig. _insert_07
Shows the tree after forcing a "refresh" / "reload" by clicking on the "Updating server datasource" in the Sample tree.

Fig. _insert_08
Shows the tree after "Delete selected row". The deleted node is shown bold with strikethrough

Fig. _insert_10
Shows that the node has been deleted from the table. Well maybe it has if there is auto ordering of nodes.
