In my opinion NO, it was a user (you) who created issue because you were
probably using elevated privileges (sudo featherpad) when you changed
settings; meaning you denied yourself access to those settings (unless
using elevated privileges later).
eg.
in following I look at my featherpad.conf
ps. I should have included; but I used `sudo chown guiverc:guiverc
fp.conf` to reset permissions (owner:group) of my fp.conf file back to
me (guiverc).

sudo featherpad will write the config to users home - as you
experienced. It's not a bug - thats exactly the reason why using
graphical applications with sudo is discouraged. To fix:
chown $user:$user -R ~/.config/featherpad
should be sufficent
** Changed in: featherpad (Ubuntu)
Status:
Additional: If one want to use featherpad with elevated rights lxsudo
might be the way to go.

Title:
Featherpad preference settings ignored
Thank you for your help.
Unfortunately I'm not very literate in commands, but it does seem to be owned
by root.
After reading a Featherpad topic in
https://forum.mxlinux.org/viewtopic.php?t=43865#p442113
I tried sudo featherpad to open, changed settings, exit, and now opening
featherpad
Picnic at it's best - please chown the featherpad configuration in
~/.config - i'd bet it is owned by root. So - bad luck.
