1/2/3/4 "save permanently" option doesn't reappear if you switch again

Minor issue, but: if you start NOOBS, and change the video mode, you'll be asked if you want to make the change permanent. If, without answering, you switch mode again, you won't be asked, unless you switch it back to the first one you tried, or you switch it back to the default one and then to the one you want. For example:

Start NOOBS in default video mode (HDMI) press "4", you are asked if you want to make permanent press "3", you are NOT asked press "4", you are still asked press "1", you are not asked (because you're on the default) press "3", this time you are asked

I agree with you. I reported the exact same thing to @Rob-Bishop during the beta-testing of NOOBS v1.3 and he told me it wasn't an issue :-/

Actually I said that it wasn't of sufficiently high importance to be a blocking issue for the release but I agree that it should be looked into now.

Ah, apologies for my mis-understanding / mis-remembering. I also found that if you e.g. switch to "2" and say Yes to save it as the default mode, and then switch to "1" and say No to saving it as the default mode, then when you switch back to "2" it again asks you if you want to save it as the default mode, even though it should still be the default mode anyway.

Yeah, that logic needs looking into again.

@IvanExpert is this still an issue?
