In this image, "NUS" was edited to "China Place", but the marker remains at NUS.

Team's Response

As mentioned before, if the locations are updated, users will be able to exploit a bug where they can overlay all the edited locations to the same point, causing the up, down, left, right key to not work as all locations are at the same point.

I understand users expect the location to be also updated, but from the developer's perspective, it is regrettable that we have to make this decision to defend against malicious users.

I believe it is the same reason as why we don't file captcha as bugs, which is to defend the applications from bots.

Items for the Tester to Verify

:question: Issue response

Team chose [response.Rejected]

Reason for disagreement: The exceptional case described could have been handled by representing each point that has an event as an array of events, and having the arrow keys navigate along the array. It could also have been handled by simply letting the users exit editing mode. Finally, this decision should have been communicated to the users, as it is natural for them to assume that it will be updated.
