Start by reproducing the issue in Edge with the in-player rewind and forward buttons enabled, then change another setting such as fit to window and compare the exported settings. Check whether player_rewind_and_forward_buttons remains enabled after the buttons disappear and after several days. Done means the buttons remain visible until the setting is explicitly disabled.
