When I open the "Other settings" menu (where you can set the autosave interval, set developer options etc.) and I press "Back" the GUI comes up with a prompt "There is 1 unconfirmed change" even though I didn't change anything. The red reset button on the top right is disabled as well because everything is set to default. Even when changing something and then using the reset button a pressing the "Back" button will show that prompt.

The expected result obviously would be no prompt if nothing changed.

This happens every time, regardless of whether I enter the settings menu from the main menu before starting a game or during a game.

The exact version number is 0.17.2 (build 43076, win64, steam).

Specifically the game always thinks the autosave interval has been changed.

(Also, highlighting changes is a brilliant debugging tool.)

also appears on map generation. when clicking "new game", you get into the generation options. The preset shows "Default [modified]" instead of expected "Default"

You're right. I wasn't sure whether the yellow highlight on the slider was indeed because it shows the (perceived) changed value or whether this was another bug/inconsistency that simply highlighted the first GUI element.

I think it's modified because there's a seed. I could be wrong.

Then it looks like it is always that THE FIRST ELEMENT OF A SETTING SCREEN IS CONSIDERED AS CHANGED.

This is not true. If you open graphics settings and click back, it knows nothing has changed.

And in the map settings, the seed actually has changed. So it should be considered changed, because it is.

We were both mistaken
EDIT: although i am not sure this is intentionnal. On top of that, i am not able to reproduce it with the "others" settings screen, where somebody said it was about autosave interval being considered as modified

You're right. But that only gets highlighted when you hover over the "reset" button. And I never changed it.
However, when I click the reset button, it does change "back."

Tanks for the report, fixed for 0.17.2

Here's a weird one.

I click "New Game." It comes up as "Default (Modified)" as usual. I click the button to revert settings; it changes the "Research Queue Availability" to "After the game is finished." The title now says "Default" but not modified.

I change the setting back to "Always." The title does not change, and still says "Default" but not modified. The "Revert" button does not highlight. When I hover over it, it says "All options have preset values." But the research queue availability still highlights.
This is probably part of the fix you already did, but you know, just in case.

I'm on .2 and can still reproduce.

Still an issue in 17.4
