Bug? This used to work and seems definitely broken. 
Thanks,
Christian
You can ask here first if something is a bug and wait for feedback if you are unsure, but it’s not very useful to first report it to the issue database and then ask here.
I confirmed this in the database.

Thanks! Wasn’t obvious to me that posting here didn’t help. Any idea when this might be fixed since I have a dependency on it?
I did add some comment on gitlab.
I confirm this happens, and as I also posted on gitlab, it only happens if I change it via the Symbol Properties dialog. As a workaround you can hover over the resistor then press v to enter the Edit Value Field dialog. or hover over the value field and press e to only edit just the value field.
The KiCad developers are quite active, and this seems a small and easy to fix thing. Such things often get fixed within a few days.

I gave it an upvote as its only low priority

Low priority for a bug doesn’t mean it wouldn’t be important to fix. But for example in this case there is a workaround as paul found out. Basically any bug which doesn’t really prevent working with some feature is low priority.
It’s a subjective evaluation which shouldn’t be taken too seriously.

I predict it will be fixed soon.

Yah!
Jeff also fixed https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/-/issues/9090 at about the same time, and now I’ve been looking for fresh updates every half an hour or so for several hours on end.
I guess the update for KiCad-nightly V5.99 will have trickled through when I wake up tomorrow morning.
