I guess I'll put this here with more specifics, though I've already posted it.
After editing the elevation of a waypoint of a road (1) and then selecting another road (2) without closing the road window, the the elevation value of the first and second waypoints (I believe it's only those) in road 2 take whatever value was set for the elevation of the original waypoint edited in road 1 and applies it to them, instead of keeping the value that they were actually set to originally.
