orderno FROM screen_field WHERE screen_id = 1" i get a permission denied on

to table b, the statement executes fine.

If you have a foreign key reference from screen_filter_field to
screen_filter, that would explain it --- but I'd expect you'd be
seeing the permissions issue on any insert into screen_filter_field,
not only an INSERT/SELECT.

See past discussions about why the foreign key triggers use SELECT FOR
UPDATE rather than plain SELECT.  I am not sure whether this is any
different in 7.1 ...

I can't duplicate this.  Perhaps you have rules or triggers you didn't
tell us about?
