I was trying to edit the alias of several feature classes in the catalog pane since right clicking on the layer in the contents pane and trying to change the alias through properties doesn't seem to work. The property can be edited if I go to the feature class under its geodatabase, but when I hit okay to accept the change, it only saves up to the third character in the new string. For example, I type in "Storm" as an alias and the new alias is "S." If I try a second time, it may end up as "St" or "Sto," but never will it be the entire word.
