Local fix

Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  USERS AFFECTED:
  QS Survive users who have seveal rules (>12) and the first is
  very large (>2000 chars)
  ****************************************************************
  PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
  The bug is in the handling of the data validation on that first
  Survive form.  The UI attempts to validate any complex
  expressions within the grid while performing the initial load.
  It was wrong to attempt to validate the complex rule there
  because any complex rule error are trapped in complex expression
  editor form.  For reasons which have not been determined
  (possibly a bug in the 3rd party control), rows get validated
  multiple times as the grid gets populated.  The harmful
  side-effect of this is that if you have a large complex rule
  (that the UI is slow in parsing) as the first rule in the grid
  and a large number of rules following, it can leads to the
  large complex rule being validated many times (eg 64 for the
  CRM that first noted this symptom).
  ****************************************************************
  RECOMMENDATION:
  Use corresponding patch or avoid this situation
  ****************************************************************
  

Problem conclusion

• The bug has been fixed by by removing that unnecessary call to
  validate complex rules.
  

Temporary fix
