Checked with the latest development build

• [X] I made a backup of my libraries before testing the latest development version.
• [X] I have tested the latest development version and the problem persists

Steps to reproduce the behaviour

1. In the preferences/Entry, add to file;doi;isbn;issn;url an ; and a field name "abc"
2. then close preferences
3. open preferences/entry.

result: the field "abc" has been deleted.

I expect the field to persist.

Confirmed

[Siedlerchr]

One can define mulitline fields in the custom entry types dialog and these are also written to the "Do not wrap" preferences field list. On saving the prefs the custom entry type definitions override the manually added ones

@SiedlerChr and the correct behavior should be that the manually added ones should be kept? Thus, the fields should be merged?
