Thumbnail label missing after saving edit

[dave80]

I add keywords(Ctrl + i) after importing and sorting my photos. A little label appears on the thumbnail in the Browser to indicated that I have added keywords. But if I edit a photo and then save it the little label is not on the edited photo but when I check, the keywords are still saved in IPTC and XMP. What am I doing wrong?
(Windows 10 Home 22H2 and XnView MP 1.8.6.)

I have Keep IPTC and Keep XMP checked in the Save settings.

The thumbnail on the right is the original and the one on the left is the saved edited copy.
