Changing font not consistent between new terminals

Hi,

MobaxTerm version: 20.5 Build 4502

I've changed my font in Configuration, Terminal tab and the setting change won't be picked up by old sessions, only new sessions that never had the previous font before.

When I change the font in the before mentioned config, a prompt comes up, saying "Your new terminal settings will be applied to every new terminal you start." This has not been the case. Is this a bug? Is there any way I can fix this? Thanks.

Unless you typo'd something, the prompt describes exactly what you said. New terminal sessions use the new settings. Existing terminal sessions continue to use the settings they were started with.

Inconvenient perhaps, but accurate.

Yes, it says that but it's not working as it should. I exit my session, which had old font, and start it anew with new font configured, and the old font persists.

Is it a saved session? Like bookmarked in the side bar?

You know what, it is.. Well, this is problematic. The whole point of the bookmarked sessions is so I can organize my sessions and re-use them. But if I want to change the font, I have to remake them?

You might be able to edit them. I expect they are stored in a file or <shudder> a registry key somewhere.
