Hi @Sylvan,
Thank you for reporting this and being so specific in your desctiption.
Best way to ensure follow-up (assuming Asana agrees this is a bug) would be to contact support. As the help center is having some issues currently you can find the most fool proof way to contact support in this topic: Try the new Asana Help Center! - #68
