This is more a warning, bug report has already been filed.

The bug is related to standings and labels and this is what causes it.

If you attempt to edit someones standings on a corp level, it will fail. You might get the option to change the standings and assign a label, but no option to "finalize" the changes.
To get around that you need to remove corporation contact, and then re-add them like you usually would and assign the label right away.
However, this is where it gets interesting.
This will work one or two times, and then it will stop working.

As an example, you right click on a character, select add corporation contact, set the standings (in this case -10) and assign them to a label. The person will show up with the correct standings, but wont be assigned the label, and instead 90% of the people in local/channels will show up as -10.
They will have the red - in chat, and on their portrait/corp logo if you show info on them, but if you show info on them and then go to the standings tab they will have no standings towards you. This affects both corporations and characters, NPC corporations and alliances, including those in FW.
However, they should not appear as red on your overview.

I have no idea why a few select ones dont appear as -10.

Please note these standings will appear to everyone in your corporation, not just your self.

From what i have seen people who are blue to you will still appear blue.

Now the fix.
Only solution i have found is to relog.
Once you log back in things will look like normal, but if you attempt to repeat what you where doing before the bug will be back.

So, if you are planning to make changes to the corporation standings, be careful, do it when as few people as possible are online, unless you want to give the poor guy in Jita a heart attack Lol
