  • Open a .blend file.
  • Quit.
  • Restart Blender and preferences will have been saved.

I can't redo this error, I've tried --factory-startup, resetting from file menu, resetting from the preferences menu.

Then opening a file from the file selector & recently opened files list.

Also clearing ~/.config/blender path and re-creating preferences just in case some local change caused it to work, still no luck.

From what I can see this should never happen because all file reading goes via WM_file_read, which keeps all G_FLAG_ALL_RUNTIME flags set as-is (which includes G_FLAG_USERPREF_NO_SAVE_ON_EXIT).

I can't reproduce it now either, I must have made a mistake.
