RH 2020 doesn't save changes to Map ID
I found something strange with Robohelp and I am wondering if anyone else sees the same thing. Whenever I try to change the Map ID, Robohelp does not save my changes. Here are some detailed steps you can use to show the problem (but you may find you don't need them):
If you don't already have a map file:
1) In Output tab, click Map Files.
2) Click the "+" , select "New Map File", and type in a name.
3) Insert a topic by either drag-n-dropping it or clicking the "+" on the right.
4) Save the map file.
Once you have a map file:
5) In the MAP ID column, edit the Map ID of a topic following these steps:
a) Position curser at the end of the present map ID.
b) Type 5-6 characters to the end if the Map ID. Note: type the characters rather quickly. Don't pause between typing each chararacter.
c) Save the map file, close it, then reopen it.
When I follow these steps, my changes made are not saved.
However, I found that if I wait about 1 second between typing each character, robohelp saves what I typed.
Another thing I noticed is the the "*" next to the map file name, which is suposed to indicate a change in the file, does not appear if I type fast, but does if I type slow.
I think I may have also seen this behavior with some other RH forms, but this is the first time I tried to reproduce the problem so I don't know for sure.
My current version is: 2020.7.46
