Item9766: Topic permissions set via NatEditPlugin UI not being applied

It appears that setting topic permissions (ALLOWTOPICVIEW, ALLOWTOPICCHANGE) via the NatEditPlugin permissions tab are not being applied. For example, if one uses the option in the "Permissions" tab for setting "Users who may edit:" to a particular group and then save the topic:

• A preference setting for ALLOWTOPICCHANGE will be created but it will be empty.
• A preference setting for PERMSET_CHANGE will be created and set to "details".
• A preference setting for PERMSET_CHANGE_DETAILS will be created and set to the group entered in the UI.

Subsequent editing of the topic, does not set the ALLOWTOPICCHANGE preference. Testing confirms that there is no restriction applied on editing.

For some reason this happens when you forget to press the enter key to finalise the texboxlist item.

I haven't had time to debug it; but the work-around is to remember to press enter after you've got a name

Based on Paul's useful observation, I thought I might be able to track down the relevant js for this UI. Oddly enough, it appears to be part of edit.js (around line 115) associated with NatSkin (rather than NatEditPlugin), however I couldn't understand code sufficiently to conceive a fix.

Confirming this bug as well as the suggested workaround for FW 1.1.0.

Could you please test again on the latest NatEditPlugin release? Thanks.
