[Gnumed-bugs] GNUmed saves only *part* of the edit of a medication entry

I added, to a patient's medication list

        midodrine 5 mg
        tablet
        0.5 bid 1-1-0-0

only to later find out that the pharmacy did not supply (dispense) what I had 
requested. Instead, the pharmacy supplied

        midodrine 2.5 mg

however when I went to edit this in GNUmed, despite that I was able to access 
the 'Unbranded substance'' field and to access, using the phrasewheel, the 
desired substance and strength

        midodrine 2.5 mg
        tab
        1 bid 1-1-0-0

GNUmed 1.3.6 saved the new schedule, but not the edited drug itself, which I am 
glad I caught, because it currently reads

        midrodrine 5 mg
        1 bid 1-1-0-0

which I must now delete (since it is double what the patient is actually 
taking), and instead make a new entry.

If it is the intent that the substance cannot be changed, then it must not be 
permitted to be edited in the edit dialog. Except ... I can see no reason why 
to disallow such change, since the original will, in any event, be captured and 
available in the audit table.
