Changing stack pointers/register settings auto reset since IDA 7

IDA General Bugs
1

Since I think ~IDA 7 there seems to be a very annoying issue with changing function stack pointers/register/variable settings.

They basically often auto reset after changing. This makes analysis and working with functions that have wrong detected settings very hard.

The last time this worked was in IDA 6.8 as far as I know. Maybe this can still be addressed in the upcoming IDA release.
I am talking about the settings in the following screenshot:

Thank you for the report. Just so that we’re on the same page, could you please add a ticket via support.hex-rays.com with a small sample + the exact steps to reproduce the problem? If you can provide an IDA version where it was working properly, that would be helpful too. Thank you.
