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.
