I see a massive potential for error here. Especially because there have been situations, albeit not reproducible, where the program has reacted as would be expected. But maybe that was a bug 🙂

I suggest you go to File > Feedback > "I have a suggestion" and submit your thoughts. Dale doesn't work for Microsoft and neither do I so we have no input on how or why Project works like it does. We both provided workaround ideas you can use for now and that's the best we can do.
