What happened?

For a while now, can't remember since which version, I have had intermittent problems with chapter naming. I have been wanting to raise a ticket for a while, but every time I tried to record the issue, it would work. But this time, I captured the problem.

As you can see from the video (in this link: https://imgchest.com/p/lqyedpm6x7d), the following happens:

I manually update the metadata and save (sometimes, it doesn't automatically update it and hence I have to explicitly press 'save')
Then I go to the chapters tab. Originally it is "Chapter 0XX - mm:ss", and so I click "Edit Chapters" and then click "Lookup"
It finds "Chapter XX" names for the chapters.
I click "Apply Changes" and then "Save"
When I open up the chapters, it is no longer the new "Chapter XX", but the old "Chapter 0XX - mm:ss" names.

This happens often.

Also, like I mentioned in point 1: the metadata doesn't automatically get saved sometimes when quick matching is done.

What did you expect to happen?

After I click apply and save, the new chapter names should be reflected in the chapters' list.

Steps to reproduce the issue
