I just tried MelBr's steps and indeed the series information gets cleared WITHOUT the checkbox "Clear Series" being checked...

The fact that you change your mind and backspace what you typed should not have any influence on the existing values if that checkbox is not ticked.

Any regular database system out there doing the same would go bankrupt the next day...in any regular database you simply do not remove existing data if an edit field's content is the same on entry and exit of the edit session without explicitly indicating this.

If there is no data in this field when beginning and there is no data there when hitting apply, and it then still acting as if the "Clear series" checkbox was marked is illogical
