ConfigBuilder Bug: Code in feeds auto changes across instances

There's a weird bug in the Config Builder, when you modify a feed that exists in two or more instances. Steps in the Source and Data Map tab may be removed or added in the feed. For example, if you have FEEDX in INSTANCE_DEV and INSTANCE_PROD. You open FEEDX in both instances and modify Step 2 in the Source Tab in one instance, say INSTANCE_PROD, Step 2 may be removed when you tab out and back into the Source Tab. Now you may the following:
(BEFORE)
Step 1
Step 2
Step 3
Step 4

(AFTER)
Step 1
Step 1
Step 3
Step 4

Solution: The temporary solution is to remove the other instances before you modify the feed. This way Config Builder doesn't get confused. I know it's a pain, but it will save you the aggrevation of losing code and having steps in the Source Tab and/or Data Map Tab inadvertantly added or removed. A solution to this bug is currently being worked on.
