Items are saved if you click OK even if no changes have been made

• Yes, I tried searching and reviewed the pinned issues

Brief Summary

Under specific circumstances, items can be saved anew every time you open them and click OK, even if no changes have been made. This is related to the Properties tab and browser integration. It is solved when you restart the program.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Open KeePassXC (so far everything works fine)
2. Open an item and change a setting related to browser integration.
3. Click OK

Expected Versus Actual Behavior

If you do the steps above, I have noticed 3 things that shouldn't normally happen:

1. You cannot remove the browser integration related properties from the item. If you delete them, they reappear the next time you open it.
2. In any other item you open, browser integration related properties are added to it when you click OK, even if you haven't changed anything.
3. Every time you open any item and click OK, it is saved anew, even if you haven't made any changes, and a new entry is added to its history.

All issues above are solved when you restart the program (of course, any additions in various items remain), until you change a browser integration setting in just one item, at which point, this behavior starts again.

I cannot replicate the issue with browser settings randomly being applied or not being saved. I can replicate the pressing OK saves, that is because the custom data _LAST_MODIFIED is updated when it really shouldn't be.

[thericle]

It's not about the browser-related "settings", but about the browser-related properties in the Properties tab.

New browser properties appear in the Properties tab, along with a new _LAST_MODIFIED property, even if you haven't made any changes at all, simply by clicking OK.

So:

1. You open the database.
2. You change a browser-related setting in one entry.
3. When you open any entry and then click OK, it acquires new properties, including the _LAST_MODIFIED property.

I tried this on a different PC (still with Windows, though) with a brand new database, and the exact same behavior occurs.

Ok gotcha, that is a better description of the issue. @varjolintu can you take a look?
