Description

Changes in settings go away once atom is restarted. In particular, new grammars, excludedScopes and known words are lost.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Change spell-check settings (e.g. append text.tex.latex to the grammars list)
2. Restart atom

Expected behavior: Changes should be persistent.

Actual behavior: Changes are lost.

Reproduces how often: On restart.

Versions

OS : MacOS Catalina, Version 10.15.6 Atom : 1.51.0 apm : 2.5.0

Additional Information

Editing the 'config.cson' file makes changes permanent, however I could not find proper documentation on the different options for this package. Also, the list of known words should not rely exclusively on manually editing said file, but on the GUI as well.

Hi @pedrorrivero , are you still experiencing this issue? I tried reproducing this but I couldn't. Have you tried running atom in safe mode?

[pedrorrivero]

I was still experiencing the issue. Strangely enough, I tried safe mode and it worked fine. Then I went back to normal mode and only then the problem seemed to be fixed. I do not know what that was all about. But it works okay now. Thank you so much for the support!
