"Replace text" not check-marked in rule action drop-down

I have a rule set up to rename files by removing a prepended character. The action is set up to do this using:

Rename -> with pattern -> (name)

When I click on the (name) element, the drop-down menu has "No change" check-marked but the actual action set is the bottom one, "Replace text…" which is not check-marked.

To me this is an error, since when I was trying to troubleshoot this old rule I was confused why there was "No change" assigned. I had to click into the action editor, then click the triangle, then click the non-checked "Replace text…" option where I found it was indeed replacing text.

"No change" refers to changes in capitalization, not the replace text option. There is a bug now, though, where the attribute won't show the annotations to indicate whether a replace text or adjustment has been made on that attribute. That should be fixed in a future release.

OK cool, yeah just an indication of what was applied would be ideal. Thanks!
