You're right, that's easy enough to fix.

No, just the restart at the moment, I'll try to fix it till the next release.

Yep, all these parts are not finished.

I've noticed that too and wanted to get to the bottom of this for some
time, especially that it happens just in this one dialog. Never thought
about it as critical, because on fast computer it can take sometimes
couple of seconds till it gets editable, but on slow computer it can take
considerably longer, but eventually it always gets editable.

Yes I known, it may happen if one host position was saved before.

I put that to the TODO list, thanks for your helpful post.
