Right, thanks, I mainly use WinXP as desktop, the transition to Ubuntu
8.04/ Debian Lenny is imminent, though.
Testing pgAdmin v.1.9.0-Dev (May 2 2008), rev: 7245:7266M, on WinXP;
host: pg 8.2.7 and 8.3.1 on Debian Etch.

I have played around a bit and run the same tests as before. AFAICS,
you've nailed all mentioned cases of potential data loss, which is the
most important part.

- <tab> key now seems to have the same effect as moving to the next
field with the mouse pointer. This is a twofold improvement: no data
loss, behavior unified.
The false warnings have consequently become more frequent. It is the
lesser evil, if we have to chose.

- Save warning now fires, if I engage sort/filter, which prevents data loss.
It might be even smarter to wait until sort/filter is actually
applied. If one just wants to look up the filter or decides to [CANCEL]
for any other reason, then we may not need the warning. But that's a
minor point.

- [Cancel] or [OK] now abort or apply sort/filter just the way it should
be IMO.

I've also checked for the other stuff I have reported recently and
replied on the thread where I've come up with something.
The rest seems to work like a charm now. Also no crashes or anything bad
and new.

- Rule privilege for VIEWs: partly fixed, see reply on thread.
- Refresh object name: seems FIXED.
- "FORCE" option for REINDEX: seems Robins FIXED it.
- Redundant double-quotes in types: seems FIXED.
- Errors & notices in pgAdmin log-files: seems FIXED.
