Apron and Taxiways materials issue

Since the latest MSFS 2020 major update (XI Canada) and SDK 0.19.3, there have been major issues with changing materials for Aprons and Taxiways. Whenever, the default material is changed, no new material is displayed but a chequered texture (see enclosed image).

A red error message can be read from the Material Inspector : "Material is not from selected assets group and can't be changed. Save, Delete, Reset and Apply locked"

The new Nvidia driver update (517.48) didn't solve anything.

I found a way to get the Materials Editor to work. While with previous versions I was used to using the Apply button, after choosing the material, now you have to use the "drag and drop" technique; taking the name of the material and moving it to the appropriate object properties box works fine.
