Issue description

Done steps:

I had customized the settings.json file (according to the documentation)
I had edited using micro a text file
After opening another file I had noticed that micro doesn't work as customized
I had opened the settings.json file and saw that the content was replaced and restored to the default (orginal) value
I got uppset about loosing the settings and annoyed to need to re-do it from the start

This was already reported with #2531, #2647 and fixed with #3009. The fix is not in any release yet, but can be obtained with the actual nightly version. Be aware of the fact, that the settings.json will be updated in case a option will be set with a non-default value via > set <option> <value>.
