Constantly Losing Data from Character Sheets [5e Shaped]

My players are constantly losing data from their character sheets. We're using 5e shaped character sheets. Who loses what and when seems to be pretty random, but it has affected all of my players over the past few weeks. Here are some of the details I could figure out. Weapons will turn off so that rolls don't work (you have to go back into the weapons page and reactivate all of the effects on your weapons. The data is still there, but the elements have been turned off) XP will be put in and saved, and then not be there the next session Inventory will sometimes lose items Changes to stats will revert to the previous week Spells will be deleted from the spells page All users are using chrome on PC's or Macs. The data seems to disappear between weekly sessions, but once or twice the save button has just not worked and data will be lost immediately after inputting it.
Hi Windtzar, I will try to look into this and attempt to replicate this. Did this only start recently or has this been happening for a while?

Ryan: I haven't experienced this at all. I've seen some reports of it before. Telling people to ensure that they mouseout after making any changes seemed to solve it in the cases that I heard of. This could maybe be related to the bug I reported about duplicate attributes. It has plagued many sheets, but I've only seen it on tabs. No idea if it's related. I do not know what the poster means by "Save button"
I have the same problem.  The issue stems from edits of the character sheet variables not saving to the attribute. This brings about issues such as tab buttons flickering between each other, entry variables not saving over their current  attributes variables.  So you need toeditthe attribute directly for the change to stick.
@ Ryan H. - this has been happening for at least a month @ Kryx - this happens after my players close everything at log out. When they log back in for the next session, everything is gone. Also, I was thinking of the save changes button that happens when you edit a character profile.
I and my players have had this same problem since we switched to shaped sheets, XP seems to be the biggest culprit, but other  things crop up constantly.

Windtzar said: I was thinking of the save changes button that happens when you edit a character profile. So, entirely unrelated to the character sheet.
This problem happens with the Character sheet for my side Kryx. And yes Ive gone out of my way to alter one setting and click on other settings repeatedly to force it to save, and it still reverts

Then that is in roll20's hands. Hope they can solve it. :)
Thanks for looking into this Kryx, I will notify the other devs about this and see if they know anything related to this.

Weird things are happening when I try to delete a spell from the spell section, things that are maybe related to the attribute bug as well : Every spell after the one deleted has is spell_casting_time attribute set to longer (if I'm not mistaking, that could imply that the attribute was simply deleted) and a "link" appear between the last spell in the section and a new spell created after (See the Gif below, test on a new character) : Note : the "link" disappear after you close and re-open the sheet. Note 2 : spell_casting_time is the only thing that change.
Can confirm that I just had the same issues as Alzam when modifying spells regarding the casting time reset (didn't add any spells at the time so can't test the 2nd issue)
I was able to replicate this. I'll mark this down as something to look further into.
I can confirm also happening with my character sheet. Especially the reverting back of the XP values.
