Cruising altitude changed if you edit a waypoint

Create a simple plan between two airports with one waypoint in between and set the altitude to 33,000. If you edit the waypoint by dragging it to another location, the altitude gets changed.  In my case to 6200 feet.

I'm not sure if this is the intended behaviour and how the default cruise altitude is chosen for a given flight. Is it the starting airport's altitude rounded up to 100 plus 5000 feet?

Plan-G is fantastic!

It gets recalculated whenever you change the plan. Since Plan-G is not designed for airliners, it's unlikely ever to come up with 33000ft as a suggested altitude.  ;)

I'll look at adding the ability to lock it though.
