Describe the bug When I add properties to any shape, after a few minutes, the properties disappear and the text in the shape itself also disappears.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Go to any shape
  2. Right-Click on shape
  3. Select Edit Data
  4. Add properties
  5. Click "Apply"
  6. Wait a few minutes, and shape text and data properties disappear.

Expected behavior I expect for the properties to save and for the text in a shape to not disappear
