What other setting remains that is not the default value?

You modified those and they remain? If so the problem is not a cache issue that resets XWikiPreferences.

One thing you can test to ensure this: When the problem happens do a flush cache in a wiki page: {{velocity}} $xwiki.flushCache() {{/velocity}} And then verify if your settings are back.

I ran a flush on the cache immediately after the problem recurred, and the settings were not restored. Any other ideas?
