This is a weird intermittent problem, but once it hits it doesn't go away for a while if at all.  Sometimes I suspect why, but then I'm thrown for a loop. I've unlocked everything except cards.

For instance, when things go wonky..

I can change Design but not Rules.
or Territory but not Setup (all within "design")

the problem mostly manifests itself by freezing at upload - the icon spins as the "Saving Board Data" pop-up remains on the screen.

It seems to happen to scenarios where Dev games have been started more often.

Right now, I can't make any changes - I can import xml changes but they don't seem to take all the time.

Sometimes I can Lock -then Unlock and that fixes things, but I'll have to do it more often to see - regardless, I have to start from scratch when I do that.

Example: Main board 5043 Scenario 5066 (no games have been started on that scenario)

Right now nothing saves on any scenarios.

Happens on iMac (Safari and Chrome) and Chromebook (a completely different operating system.)

Re-Lock - Unlock problem areas didn't work

Blowing away and building the scenario from scratch seems to work every time.  I'll try and save the xml before doing this on a different scenario..

Also noticing that things look like they change in the Designer, which is then not in synch with actual.

E.g. Init set-up looks like it reverts to Random (for no apparent reason), but pull the xml, and it indicates Custom. 

Tom, I'm trying a bunch of different ways to beat it.  The one that seems to work consistently (short of blowing the entire scenario away) is to lock EVERYTHING -- then unlock. So  I'm thinking it may have something to do with the locks.
