What is the expected behaviour/value?

Changes made and saved in Options, like using thousands separator, should save and be set next time POB is opened.

POB should default to last build opened/saved on open.

What is the actual behaviour/value?

Any changes made and saved in Options, like using thousands separator, will not save on exit. It resets every time I re-open POB.

Back in 3.14, POB would open to the last build I saved. It didn't do it in 3.15 and it's still not doing it now. It keeps defaulting to a build from 3.13 that I haven't opened/used since then. I thought this would be fixed in 3.15, so I didn't report it until now.

How to reproduce the issue

Research direction

Start by tracing how Options changes are persisted on exit and how the application selects the build opened at startup. Reproduce both failures using the reported expected and actual builds, then verify that option values persist and the most recently saved or opened build is selected.
