Description

I tried the new feature #9293 to add Custom message text for the login screen. All went well until I wanted to remove the text. It did not work. Selecting the text, pressing delete and save resulted in "The changes have been applied successfully." with an empty text box (as would be
expected). But entering General Setup again shows the message still being present (also verified by loging out/in again).

A temporary "work-around" is to not delete the complete message but leave an empty space, but that gives an empty message field on the login page.
