 Changing Demantra Worksheet Layout for a certain user is not getting saved

Upon upgrade to 12.2.6.1 when a user makes a change to the demantra worksheet layout that is not owned by the User, and when user clicks on Save, the application prompts the user to "save as" the worksheet with different name. This was not the case in the previous version where the layout changes got saved for that user.

Worksheet “GEHC : Master Scheduler” worksheet is owned by “sop” user.
a) A different user (not owner of the worksheet) can rename a worksheet tab and save the worksheet with same name in 12.2.4.1.
b) A different user (not owner of the worksheet) can change series display option/ display sequence/ graph display option and save the worksheet with same name in 12.2.4.1.
Same layout changes are not supported in 12.2.6.1, and user gets message
