Yes, it did that all the time. The logic did not change. After clearing the 
combo box entries it asks Finance::Quote for a listing of sources and that for 
some reason returns an empty list.

I tried to duplicate the problem yesterday and found out that the list remains 
empty for me because F::Q does not run on my box (due to missing Perl 
modules). I installed a whole bunch but am not yet done.

The consequence of the empty list is that the marked checkbox is not 
permanently stored. As soon as there will be entries in the combo box the 
setting will be stored.
