-When editing a value, it will only be written back to the respective property when you leave the editing control. At that very point in time, the Object Editor also runs an integrity check and tests if the value you've entered can be stored on the property. If this fails, it will color the respective value <span style="color:red">red</span> and it will not be stored when saving the object. The coloring changes back to normal once you've entered a valid value. If there is also a warning range defined in the validation, the value will be marked with an exclamation mark on <span style="color:yellow">yellow</span> background if the value is within the warning range. However, a value showing a warning is a valid input and can be saved as well.
