--- Comment #2 from Ahmad Samir <a.samirh78 at gmail.com> ---
I think this issue is fixed in
https://invent.kde.org/utilities/konsole/-/commit/5ab8423139467ad97d87d00dc82a85f91c5a1492
, version 21.08

Basically when you use "Edit current profile" for the first time, you'd be
editing the built-in profile, which is immutable, so the dialog actually
creates a new profile (as you saw), the missing bit was setting that new
profile as the current session profile:
SessionManager::instance()->setSessionProfile(session(), profile);

FWIW, in git master the menu text has been changed, if the dialog will create a
new profile the text is "create new profile", if it's editing an existing
(editable) profile, it is "edit current profile".

And there is an open MR to rename the "Default" (aka Fallback, aka Built-in)
profile to "Built-in" everywhere, to finally disambiguate the name of the
internal immutable profile.

(A "set profile as default" button sounds like a good idea, currently the only
way to set a profile as default is using the profile manager (settings ->
configure konsole)).
