SAP Note 17406 - Text maintenance causes unjustified warning popup

Symptom:

Text maintenance causes an unjustified warning popup to be issued:
Text elem. were changed. Save
the changes?
even when you were working only in display mode.

Cause and prerequisites

The following change was implemented with corr. no. B20K010603 / transport no. B20K015602:
All text elements are assigned a length. Internal text symbols could previously be saved without any text (that is, only a text number). These texts were saved with an internal length 0, which caused difficulties in later processing (e.g. termination due to ASSIGN with length 0). For this reason, a default length of 1 was assumed in such cases (text symbol with assigned number but without text). Due to this change, which is invisible for the user, the system reacts correctly by displaying the change popup.
Change with correction B20K034289:
According to correction B20K034289, a change popup will not be sent after a pure length- correction. The confirmation message:
"Text elements for Program ... in Language . accepted"
will continue to be issued even after this correction.
A further reason for issuing the change Popup is solved with
correcttion B20K035301 - Inserting a Text symbol with Text=Space without default length definiton 1 from the Inconsistency cleanup program.

Solution
Confirm the query with "Yes". This will change the text symbols with length 0 to length 1 (one-time action).
