Just a possibility, but something I know I've done wrong more than 
once. Are you making sure that after you change the text, you tab or 
click out of that field before going to the next card to check the 
update?

Silly, I know, but, as I say, it's bitten me in the rear before so I 
thought I'd suggest the simple answer.
