Where is your code that looks up the data in the display fields?

Sounds like it's on WHEN-NEW-RECORD-INSTANCE (populates when you land on the record). Should be on POST-QUERY (fires once for every row retrieved during the query processing). Also check your block properties to see how many records are retrieved by the block. If you have 4 records displayed, you probably want to set your query size to be about 5 or 6 records and possibly about 8 or 9 if you expect the user to use page up and page down a lot.
