Description
If you change any field to \lx, Solid will eat the resulting record. For example, if I have a subentry, and change the \se to \lx, the record would be eaten. I have not confirmed this myself, but I can confirm that the data did go missing for a particular user, and all she did was to rename several fields to \lx.

I just tested this independently and confirmed that an \se that gets renamed to \lx does indeed disappear.
A quick way to fix this might be to detect that a record marker has been inserted and to immediately force a refresh of all panes.
An even quicker fix would be to refuse to accept this kind of editing from the user. But that's not very satisfying.
I'm glad to see that this is high priority.

The user might think that inserting an \lx would Add a record. And that clearing out the right pane entirely would Delete it. (See http://projects.palaso.org/issues/174) However it's done, might be good to implement them together.
