Potential cause for multiple Setting issues

 

EDIT: After testing the issue, it seems possible that it acts accordingly to what I suggested. I added a second video with more details. If the settings truly allow for both options to be enabled at once during one frame, I'm wondering if it has the potential to corrupt a user's file. If a user was to exit the pause menu, close the game or something alike on this exact frame, would the settings be saved in this dual state? How would the game handle this dual state? And if the game doesn't crash, could this setting be set back to either options, or would it be stuck with both options enabled? 

Hi.

The issue has probably already happened to me before but I had not realize it was the same issues. I see many users report stuff related to settings changing on their own, resetting and so on. 

What happened: I toggled one of my setting -Held Flip Tricks- twice in a row; first 'Off', then back to 'On'.  Despite setting it back to 'On', few minutes later I noticed it was visibly set to 'Off' since holding a flip trick was shifting my character's body rather than multiplying the trick. (Just wanna mention that 'Held Flip Tricks' was indeed 'On' and also working normaly up until this event). Even though it is undeniable that the game handlles this option as if it were set to 'Off', the menu displays it as set to 'On'. You can check the attachment, it shows what I described to the best of my knowledge. I included more than necessary and sped up the useless part to avoid cutting the clip midway. Just so you get to check if anything worth notice happened in between.

Hypothesis -What causes the bug: Just offering an idea. Take it for what it's worth haha. I noticed that, visually, the menu might indicate that, when toggling between two options, rather than disabling one and enabling the other in one frame, they possibly are both enabled during one frame (currently playin at 60fps, not 120).  I'm saying this based on the fact that the font of the option newly enabled turns fully black within one frame, though the other option (the one being disabled) remains also fully black on this same frame. The disabled option has its font starting to fade only one frame after that. In short it could seem that both option are enabled for one frame

Thanks have a good day

p.s. I once toggled to a different 'control presets' than the one I generaly use, just to get a better understanding of how this other preset works. It lost all my custom settings. I saw that other users as well complained about lossing their settings for some reason. If the bug I reported today relates to this issue, I think there's many users who would be thankful for it being fixed.
