Yes, I was aware of this glitch, which is addressed by the attached patch.

This is by design. The checkbox status is not saved in the document but
in the session file, so the document should not be marked as dirty (as
it would be after "OK" or "Apply").

The attached patch appends "(this setting is always applied immediately)".

Yes, many improvements are possible with a more little time at hand.
I am also investigating the possibility of attaching a context menu to
the red icon in the status bar.
