Yes! You can cut your root-cause scope in half by doing the following: Save the doc with new doc settings. Now copy the LyX file to somewhere else. Now exit LyX. Now copy the LyX file to yet somewhere else. Now open the doc in LyX again and verify that it forgot settings. Now compare the open LyX settings to the settings in the two copied files. Doing this you can deduce whether the forgetting happens: 1) In the saving 2) When exiting LyX or closing the file 3) When opening the file in LyX again Once you know that, you can narrow it down again and again until your description makes it a 2 minute fix for the developers, who hopefully can give you a temporary fix until you upgrade.
