Hi everyone,

I'm having some issues with updating props on components, as they seem to fall back to the previous value. Restarting the designer helps for some time.

I.e.  
Set a fontSize to 30px on a label. Select a different component, and then back to the label. fontSize has changed back to the old value. Running 8.1.32, but is was like this on older versions as well.

Thanks in advance.
