Good discovery Tim,
I have a similar one to yours. How about using the left Explorer
Pane to edit component fields in a schematic component? Select one schematic
component in the list box, click edit, edit partfields or some other field.
Close the Window.
Ooops, I forgot something. Try to re-edit that same component by
clicking the edit button again. You can't do that until after you have
opened a different component to edit and closed it (yes you have to open it
for editing, selecting alone doesn't work). As well if the field you edited
is normally displayed in the window (part type, footprint) the list does not
update until you edit another component. Stupid, Stupid, Stupid.
