What happens on your computer? On my computer debug-on-error is saved as far as I can see. If I understood the code in menu-bar.el correctly (I did not try out anything), then an oversimplified description of the situation if you choose "Save Options" is: 1. The following options get saved if their value was set either through the menu bar _or_ through Custom.: scroll-bar-mode debug-on-quit debug-on-error menu-bar-mode tool-bar-mode save-place uniquify-buffer-name-style fringe-mode fringe-indicators case-fold-search display-time-mode auto-compression-mode current-language-environment default-input-method text-mode-hook. In as far as text-mode-hook is concerned, the entire current value of text-mode hook gets saved, not just the part mentioned in the Options Menu. This could easily be inappropriate. All one can do is hope for the better. 2. The following options get saved to the custom-set-variables form, no matter how they got their value: line-number-mode column-number-mode cua-mode show-paren-mode transient-mark-mode global-font-lock-mode blink-cursor-mode 3. Other options never get saved. I believe that we might have to clean this situation up after the release, as part of making changes and bug fixes to Custom.
