Not, I thinks it's disabled in the single line Editor on purpose, as 
when values are still changing (e.g a fade, or next step), it could 
store very wrong values.

No.

It's for the very old LCII with grabber firmware.

If you want a single value you must create a button -only- for a 
single value. The in-between values can be set to no button.

??? No, it should not do that. What kind of connection (USB or TCP), 
and what computer type are you using?

I have seen it here, but only when I forgot to store, and turned edit 
mode Off. You get a warning, and then after store I have seen that it 
jumped to a previous edited step.

Anyway, I can't reproduce it here, so if someone know how to 
reproduce it, we can fix it, or suggest a work around.
