Save Speech Settings?

[Paul Gilmartin]

[     0.383][INFO] [ This is Stellarium 26.1 (v26.1.0) - https://stellarium.org/ ]
[     0.383][INFO] Operating System: macOS Sequoia (15.7.7)

Can Speech settings be saved?  In Configuration->Speech I make changes,
then Configuration->Save Settings.
Quit Stellarium; re-launch.
Speech settings have reverted to default.

"find user-directory -print0 |  xargs -0 grep ... "
shows no evidence of changed settings.

I usually run with "save immediately" settings. I may have forgotten to save the old-fashioned way with explicit button press, must fix for the next version.

"save immediately" seems to have no effect on Speech settings.

What does "immediately" mean?  If I make a change then inspect
config.ini with a text viewer before I Quit Stellarium, or the system
crashes, or I "kill -9 Stellarium", will I see my changes saved?

guide.pdf doesn't clarify this.

Immediately as in "a minuscule fraction of a second after you click a checkbox." My text editor asks to reload config.ini, the new value is visible, and kill -9 should not change it back. Some big settings like location or landscape are not saved immediately but have their own save buttons in the right places. 

Top half of Page 22 should be enough to be told about this mode. Down to the last sentence which is important! And it does have an effect, else I wouldn't have this section:
