Match value disappears when making changes.

Question

Hi, in the editor when I get a match from an aligned document (85% or any other value above) the match is automatically inserted, but when I make changes in the text the match value (e.g. 85 %) disappears. This is very inconvenient as the proofreader can no longer see that my translation is based on a match. Any idea why this is? 
 
 And as I am continuing my translation (since I cannot put everything on hold for this), is there a way to apply the match value in retrospect without changing the now altered translation? 
 
 Cheers, 
 Toon

Hi Toon, 
 
If you edit the translation the 85% will remain but it will become translucent. This shows you have edited the original 85% match. If you copy source to target before editing then the 85% match disappears. Any other operation will just show it as edited. 
 
You cannot apply the match value in retrospect unless you delete the new TU and then redo the translation.
