"for" not working?

Ok, I think I figured this one out on my own. It seems that if there is something in brackets after the "for" or in the category parts before the year brackets seems to make it so that the "for" doesn't work the way it usually does. Very strange bug.
When did you start experiencing this? This has been working consistently for me right up to when I stopped working yesterday - about 5pm GR time.

I tried entering (Finalist) at the same time as the award, and that won't work. But I need to edit anyway, because a Finalist isn't a Winner.
"Note that because the word "for" is a keyword indicating a category, you cannot directly enter an award with the word "for" in it. To manage an award like this, enter any placeholder text as the award name and then edit the new placeholder award to the correct name."
I have been trying to add award info to books separating the category info with "for", but GR just keeps creating new awards with the title Award name for category name. Quite annoying as I'm working with a award that has a lot of categories and each of them has to now be edited twice...
