Disappearing mods

I seem to have ran into an interesting issue the Mod list in Factorio and am wondering if anyone else has ran into this issue and it is a bug or just an issue with my version of Factorio.

while installing some mods I noticed that some of the mods that I had installed no longer showed up in the mod list, thinking this strange I tried to re-download the mod. however when downloading the mod again it would still not show up in the list. Upon investigating I can see the .zip file with the mod in the factorio mod directory with the latest version that was downloaded. Investigating further I noticed that the mod was not even showing up in mod-list.json file, digging even deeper I decided to clear my mod list and then delete the .json file and re-download all mods. I found that it appears that when the Confirm button is pressed Factorio is accessing the mod-list.json but not updating it at that time and only updates it when Factorio is actually exited fully from the main factorio menu.

again just wondering if this might be a bug that needs reported as others have experienced it or if it is just mine and I need to completely remove and reinstall Factorio
