Follow-up Comment #4, bug #53515 (project octave):

inoperable.
I agree with that. I discussed with Torsten on another bug report (bug #52090)
about trying to make the GUI less dependent on the default settings being set
correctly, use default values declared in a single place in the code, and not
break if the settings file is unreadable or can't be created for any reason.
Do you want to make this bug be about that?
