RemoteMaster "Preferred Remotes" issue

[spock]

Hi,

in RemoteMaster 2.02a (Device Upgrade Editor)
when I open Menu -> Options|Remotes|Edit preferred...
I can always enlarge the number of remotes in the list of "Preferred Remotes", but
I'm not able to reduce the number of remotes.
When I remove an entry from the "Preferred" list (lets say - had 3 entries before and 2 entries left),
press ok and then go back to the list, there are 3 entries in again.
But it seems, that the third one is random now, and so even the same entry
can be in the list more than once (e.g. two URC-7552 entries or even more).
The list stays wrong then even after closing and restarting RemoteMaster.

The only way to really get rid of unused entries is to edit the
RemoteMaster.properties file in the RMIR folder manually
(deleting a PreferredRemotes.x entry).

I just found out, that this problem already existed in previous RemoteMaster versions
(tried RM 1.97 standalone - same behavior).

Can someone confirm that problem?

Fixed version (Sounds like it is for something else, but fixes this problem too).
