Bug Description

I'm trying to work with Fully Specified symbols (Parts), due to the need to maintain close coupling with my inventory database.
In order to work in this way, if I want to apply any change to the component, i need to replace it.
E.g. if I want to change the resistor from 39k to 43k, I can't just edit it's value, instead I must replace it with fully specified 43k symbol (carrying my 43k resistor private part identifier for database).
I enter Edit symbol properties, then change symbol to new one using Browse library.
After changing, the fields contents stays for my old part (before change).
Now if I click Update fields from Library, these will not update and will stay as for my old part before change. Only after I will close the symbol properties dialog with OK button, and then will re-enter it (Edit properties), I can update the fields with new part's properties.
Seems like the OK button on the Symbol Properties dialog applies the component change, and not just the selection of new component.
