"Writing Settings Formatting" checkboxes are not properly saved to the database

[sootsnoot]

On the Writing Settings page, you can change either of the two Formatting checkboxes. But when you click Save Changes, the checkboxes revert to their original values from the database. You can change the displayed checkbox values only by changing the option_values of the use_smilies or use_balanceTags option_names in the options table directly, e.g. with phpMyAdmin.

I have only observed/tried this with a 3.9 subdirectory multisite installation.

I'm unable to reproduce this on single site or multisite. I've also checked with and without a persistent object cache in place (Memcached).

This is most likely an issue local to your server, and possibly related to a persistent cache. Can you reproduce the issue with all plugins deactivated?

I just tried this now, and it was the WP Edit Pro plugin. I've posted a bug in their forum, ​http://forum.wpeditpro.com/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=61

Thanks for the quick response. And sorry I didn't think to deactivate plugins before posting here. I'm still kinda new.

No problem, glad you found the issue.
