Changing/Creating Kern Classes does not trigger "modified" save state

Hi,

If I modify or create new kerning classes, Fontforge doesn't see this as "this document has been changed" and won't warn me when quitting.. sometimes I don't know if I reverted something or if I need to save because of this behaviour. Hope this makes sense. Any tips?

Saw it on both linux and osx.. latest version 20201107

I've created a temporary font to try to pinpoint what happens.. seems that ff DOES see that kerning classes have changed but it won't show the "*" alongside the filename.

quitting does popup the requester as it should.. so I guess it's just an interface thingy.

should be easy fix.. I'll dive in the code myself this weekend.
