Thanks for your testing. You have a lot more errors with QT than I do.
Strange. May be difficult to fix if I cannot reproduce.
The good news is that there is a workaround. You can restart Lazarus
and the configuration works.

Good to know the palette itself works. I will look at the component
list view issue later.

It works here. I created the "modern" layout XML file using it.
It uses the same code that writes the environment options XML file.
It only saves a difference between user changes and the default settings.
The export feature uses a standard file save dialog. Where did you
save the file?
".xml" suffix may not be added automatically.
