Okay, no, 6659 does actually at least one bug.

Steps:
1. Place component
2. Press E over the value field to edit it

--- first bug: "Power component value text cannot be modified!" is displayed,
even though this is not a power component.

3. Press OK.

--- second bug, maybe?

I have one report from a friend that the modified value does not always get
saved at this point. I was not able to reproduce, but apparently it's
intermittent.
