I am having trouble selectively editing 008 and 006 fields in MarcEdit.

When this shows up, I can edit one or two records, but when I move the
cursor to another record in the same batch, I get the error message:
"You *must* place the cursor at the beginning of the 006 or 008 field
that you wish to edit."

The cursor *is* at the beginning of the field at the time I get the message.

I tried hand-editing the fields within MarcEdit, but I found that
those edits do not 'stick'.  They disappear when I save the file.

I've made a task that edits 008 fields and another that edits 006
fields, and those work without a problem.  It's only the editing of
one record at a time that is showing this bug.  I'm attaching a small
batch to this post that produces this error.  The error comes up when
I try to edit the 2nd record.  The file validates.

I'm using MarcEdit version 5.2.3730.42620.

I can edit the individual records in a text editor if need be, so this
is more of an FYI than an urgent plea for a bug fix.

As always, thanks for the program and all the help!
