Brief description of the issue:

I am unable to enter a flight number with a zero “0” in it. When I enter a flight number with a zero, it blanks out. When I enter a flight number without a zero, it is accepted and entered.

Correction: After entering a flight number with a zero (i.e., 101), and exiting and returning to the entry page, instead of showing the number (101), it shows all asterisks (***).

Yes

Provide extra information to complete the original description of the issue:

Using a flight number with 3 digits and a zero in the middle, like 101, 202, 303. To have the number transformed into stars, I have to exit/enter the Customization window a couple of times (switching from 1 airplane to another a couple of time for example) before seeing the issue. If I use a number with more digits or for example “203” so far I cannot reproduce it but it really looks a random issue. I don’t know what is the logic that triggers the switch between the number and the stars. Maybe some additional variations in the number format are also affected. Only a dev with access to a debug log file could identify the logic behind this and so the root cause.

If relevant, provide additional screenshots/video:

Maybe that issue is linked to another one where flight number is not saved:
