What Happened?

I added a module to a component and saved it. The red "minus" button does not function to remove the module when I re-open the component.

Steps to reproduce the Bug

Add a module to a component, save and close.
Edit the component again and attempt to remove the module using the minus button.
The only way to remove it is to add a new blank module and then click the minus button from the first one. Then Save and Close.

This is not a bug - it's simply how the subform is designed that adds modules to a component.

If you want to remove all modules linked to your component, the minus button should work to remove all until the last one. For the final module, select the Select a module option. This will leave the component with no modules linked.

Please Note: It is highly recommended to use Firefox when building with JCB. Since JCB is built and tested in Firefox we have found that when using Chrome we sometimes run into unexpected behavior.
