Ok, here it is. I hope this is the right place.

I couldn't find a BUG REPORT section.

`STATUS` node.

I was writing code and changed it to `selected nodes` rather than the default `all`.

Did some work. Deleted some code - and one of the monitored nodes.

To digress: If I ADD nodes, the number increases as I add them.  
Press `DEPLOY` and all is good.

I delete any of the nodes and the number does NOT reduce.

I have to open the `STATUS` node (do nothing) and when I close the `edit` window ONLY THEN does the number reduce.

I won't paste all the piccies unless requested.  
As there is/are `7` of them to show you what I mean.

Bah, here's the pictures.

Obviously the sequence is 1 --\> 7

All is good.

Add a new node

Added to `STATUS` node list to monitor

Number increased now - even before `DEPLOY` is pressed.

New base line.

Delete node.  
(`DEPLOY` skipped in pictures)

Deployed but number not reduced.  
If I open the node then close it (as said) then the number reduces.

A GitHub issue maybe requested, but I'm not part of the core team, so can't say.

I thought it was a core node.

I'm not the sharpest tool in the box.

How do I raise an issue?

I don't believe this is a bug.

When you make a change to the node's configuration it immediately displays that as the node name. It is the same as when you give any node a name, it immediately shows up.

For example, add an `inject` node and the label is `timestamp`. Now edit the `inject` node and change the `name` option. As soon as you click don't, the node now has the name of what you entered.

So it seems to be a future, not a bug.
