What happened?

So if you want to erase a label from a circuitbox input or output, the game will ignore you exactly one time. So if you name a label "test" and hit ok it changes to test. If you rename it again from test to blank. It stays test. If you rename it a thirst time from blank to blank now it will change to blank.

Reproduction steps

Place a circuit box on the wall rename one of the inputs to "test" Confirm the rename. See that it changed to "test" Rename it again from test, erasing the name entirely. Confirm the rename. See that it remains "test" Rename it a 3rd time, seeing that test has gone away and the gray suggestion text now says "test" for some reason Leave it blank and confirm the rename. It finally is erased.
