Describe the bug / error

Updating properties of files does not create a new version in version history. Old changes are overwritten.
In the past new version was created, so one could track changes of the properties.
This is now impossible, as no new version is created.

Steps to reproduce

1. Create a new file library
2. Add new column (for example Text column: Test)
3. Upload file
4. Change the property Test of the file to "Test 1", then change it again to "Test 2"
5. View version history of the file: the changes are not tracked

Expected behavior

There should be version history for each change of file properties, so one could track who change what when.

This bug has created a massive mayhem in my firm, as tracking changes is vital to our work.

EDIT: Versioning works for me now as expected, so comparing file properties of two version of the same file is possible again.
