Kstars 3.5.4/scheduler, "Fill coordinates with Sky Map center" - problem?

If I center an object i Sky Map, then push the "Fill coordinates with Sky Map center"-button,
the RA/DEC-fields are filled with the coordinates correctly. Then I save this as a job (esl-file)

However, if I later load this job/file and changes the coordinates by center another coordinate/objects,
the new coordinates are displayed in the RA/DEC fields but not saved when saved to the file. The old coordinates are still there.

But if I manually change something in the RA/DEC-field before saving, (eg. just rewrite a digit) the the new coordinates are saved.

Yes I have pushed the + and check buttons.

Bug?

You need to double-click on the job on the right to enter the "edit" mode, then change it, then click the checkmark and save.

Hi Jasem,
and thanks for Your quick answer!

Yes, I am aware of that "edit-procedure" with double-click and so on.
Maybe I was a bit misleading when I wrote the "have pushed the + and check buttons" thing.

But still, I have to do some small edit/change in any of the RA/DEC-fields to
make the new coordinates to be saved.

I am running Kstar 3.5.4:

Same behavior for me.

Double click on a scheduler job for editing, then click on "Fill coordinates with sky map center" button, then click the checkmark button --> job coordinates are still the old ones (checked by double clicking the job again).

If I edit the RA or DEC fields after clicking "Fill coordinates with sky map center" and before clicking the checkmark button then the coordinates are indeed updated on the job.
