Description

Labeling transactions/coins is not saved. Address labels are saved properly.

Python 3.6.3, Electrum 3.0.1 / 3.0.2 at least. Other users have reported same problem while others have reported address and transaction labels to work (on Linux.) Apparently for some both work occasionally.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the label-saving problem described for transactions and coins in Electrum 3.0.1 or 3.0.2, comparing it with the reported working address labels and the differing Linux behavior. Done means identifying why transaction and coin labels are not persisted and verifying that those labels remain saved after the relevant wallet operation.
