EEschema, menu, tools / edit symbol fields wrong column fill

[Michele Giorato]

I encountered another problem with eeschema.
If you use "tools/edit symbol fields" the data inserted in a cell are written in the next one.
It 'a very dangerous thing especially for those like me, use the fields to indicate the code of the same component for different suppliers. At the moment I found digikey codes on the Farnell column.

Did you originally author this schematic with another version? 4.0.7 definitely had this bug, but I don’t believe the current nightlies do. I’m not sure about 5.0.x.

No, I did everything with 6.0rc, the only "anomalous" thing I imported a microscopic part of a 4.x scheme.
