Bug in FinalSun or in my map?

I got this map called the 4 continents during internet play, and I've been modding it by adding some new building types and new keys for them. I save my changes, exit, and leave it for a while. When I come back, I open the .ini editor in my map and I find that tons of .ini sections have automatically been added to the editor starting with "Aban01" and ending in just about all the structures in the game. I went the the trouble of deleting them all, saved the map, restarted FinalSun, opened my map and found the .ini sections to have been automatically added again. How did this happen and how do I stop it?

Note: Before I added structures, somehow the BuildingTypes section got deleted, so I reinserted it from the main rules.ini file, and began my new structures at 250, 251, etc.

I figured out my own problem. In the Finalsun ini editor, any building that is in the BuildingTypes section is automatically added to the list of sections when I exit and reenter FinalSun. (I shouldn't have imported the BuildingTypes section from the main rules.ini file.)

Oops, I didn't know that it's possible to double-post here. I'll make sure to edit my post next time.

Why would you need to import the whole section? You only need to import the modified objects...
