Yes, these will be fixed. When I optimize the code and recycle already
created pages, the selected page will be restored, too.

Yes you are right. The options GUI interprets the filtered palette as
user changes and saves it.
Now I added a "band-aid" fix so that nothing is saved if user does not
actually touch the configuration.

Because there are 3 components in the Standard page when filtered by DataModule.

Data Controls page is empty as you noticed. No components.

Yes, I meant I am clever because I made the GUI. :)
No, just kidding. If I was clever, this feature would work already
since a long time but it still does not.

When you click OK in the options dialog, the settings are stored into
memory variables. They are saved to disk when the IDE closes.
I understand now what is going on and I will fix it, although it may
take a week. This feature required more work than I anticipated and I
have other duties, too.
