Found possible bug in latest update

I’m not sure if this is already being addressed, but I found a possible bug after encountering some “pock marking” issues right after I updated to the latest version of PrusaSlicer. There are little dimples speckled throughout my first print. After seeking help on Reddit, someone mentioned that my Seam Position appeared to be set to “Random”. So I just went to change it and noticed that no, my Seam Position setting was still set to the default of “Nearest”. The little lock icon was still in the locked position and grayed out. However, when I hovered over the dropdown menu, the little help window popped up and said that the Seam Position default setting is “Aligned”. This is apparently not true. I then used the dropdown menu to select “Aligned”, and the little lock icon unlocked and turned orange, obviously indicating that selecting “Aligned” was actually steering away from the default setting. 
So there’s that, and that’s weird. So it got me wondering, is this just a mistake in the text of the the help window, or is this indicative an underlying issue with the update? To me, it just seems strange that it says the default is “Aligned”, but the default is actually “Nearest”, and my first print with the default setting after the new update appears to be printing on “Random”. 
I just now manually selected “Aligned” from the dropdown menu and started the print again. I will update and let you know if my pock mark issue is resolved because of the change.

RE: Found possible bug in latest update

Prusa slicer is based on Slic3r.

The help text shows the Slic3r defaults. The lock symbol shows the Prusa defaults. 

 

I have no idea why these settings have not been reconciled over the years

As you post , the default is aligned. Can you reproduce any setting except Aligned with the lock icon greyed out?
