video of me demonstrating the bug I am describing

SUMMARY
When creating a label for a widget on a form in Kexi, text entered directly
into the label doesn't seem to get retained when saved. It reverts back to its
original, default Text property value (e.g., "Label", "Label 2", etc.).

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open Kexi.
2. Select "New...", "Blank Database"; "File" [storage method]; fill out name
and destination directory.
3. Under Create tab, select Form.
4. In Form Design tab, select Label.
5. Click and drag to create a new label in the form design area.
6. Type in desired label text (program defaults to letting you type into the
label itself, not the Properties pane).
7. Click somewhere outside of label to lock its contents into place.
8. Save the form.
9. Close form.
10. Reopen form.

OBSERVED RESULT
Desired label text that was typed in before saving form was not retained after
saving, closing, and reopening form.

EXPECTED RESULT
When reopening saved form, text would be what had been originally typed
directly into the label upon its creation.

Thank you
