In the View → Edit View... dialog, the "Remember this view" option always starts out unset. Using the dialog to change an existing view and ignoring the parts of the dialog that aren’t relevant results in both the old and new versions of the view being lost. The cause: right after newviewopts($curview,perm) is set to an appropriate value, decode_view_opts is clobbering it with the default value. If that call is moved a little earlier, the "Remember this view" option gets properly set to its previous value, fixing the problem.
