When a keyword is entered, it cannot be deleted again.

On Windows Vista in the newest version, I add two keywords (Test and Test/Test), click write. Close the picture. Open the picture again. Remove one of the keywords. It is removed from the list. However, when I hit write, it appears again.

Ok, it's not a bug.
You must uncheck 'Add new values to current value' to be able to delete the keyword.

I'm not sure that 'writing options' are very clear! Which options or labels will be better?
