Howdy,

I just noticed that the "Update action" setting in PathAuto was set to
"Create a new alias. Delete the old alias". I changed it to "Do nothing.
Leave the old alias intact", so I think this problem should be fixed now.

Can anyone of you try again (without unchecking the "Automatic alias"
box) to verify please?

Cheers,

Jorge
