Multiple tasks changed even though only one is selected

When I change a custom field to a value that is filtered out, an additional line is also being changed, even though it isn't selected.

Hi @justinbloom

Unfortunately, without all the necessary supporting information, there's no way for me to understand the relationships between tasks and custom attributes that may have led to the issue.

Also, the fact of only one task being selected in no way ensures that only one task is modified because date changes especially can have knock-on effects on other tasks.

ps. Recorded bug reports are only really useful _after_ other investigative avenues have been exhausted. I really much prefer screenshots, data, a set of reproducible steps and clear statements of how you believe it should behave compared to how it actually behaved.

pps. For data you can either send me an anonymised version of your tasklist (todolist.forums@abstractspoon.com) or attach a modified version of the sample tasklist 'Introduction.tdl'.
