Hi there!
That’s pretty odd! I suspect that some other plugin can be generating a compatibility conflict here, causing this unexpected automatic update.
Read more about plugin and theme conflicts in our [Self-Service Guide](https://docs.woocommerce.com/document/woocommerce-self-service-guide/).
This is likely caused by a conflict with your theme or with another plugin.
The best way to determine if the issue is being caused by a theme and/or plugin is to temporarily switch your theme to Storefront (https://woocommerce.com/storefront/?aff=10486&cid=1131038) and disable all plugins except for WooCommerce. Finally, test to see if the issue is resolved by opening an order from the backend again.
To figure out which plugin is causing the problem, continue to the next step – reactivate your other plugins one by one, testing after each, until you find the one causing conflict.
Here’s a more extensive explanation in our docs: https://docs.woocommerce.com/document/how-to-test-for-conflicts/
