I have got some dashboards setup for displaying DMARC information in Kibana (email reporting information). I am running V9.2 of ES and Kibana. What I notice is that the save option frequently appears when no changes have been made. If I refresh the web page using the web browser refresh button the greyed out SAVE button will typically become blue and active again. I am using MSEdge for the web browser.

On other occasions where I make a change it seems I need to click the SAVE button twice. Only then does it finally go grey.

Is there any way to make this behaviour somewhat less problematic ?

I noticed similar behaviour when running I think it was V8.19.2 or the like.
