Yes, that's the expected behavior when updating one field. Anything
else would be a disaster. If what you're trying to do is a renumbering
of the rows (something that there is little point in doing if you
designed your database correctly), you'll have to do it manually.
Normally it would involve a lot more than just changing one column
in one table, and it may even be impossible due to uniqueness
constraints.
What auto_increment does is this: "When you insert a value of NULL
(recommended) or 0 into an AUTO_INCREMENT column, the column is set
to value+1, where value is the largest value for the column currently
in the table."
