Reported against v8.4.6153 (not sure if it was like this before)

At least some some (possibly all) profile changes survive 'CANCEL'.

Open file
Change Bounds by any means
Type Primary cmd 'CANCEL'

When you reopen any file using same Profile, the changed bounds setting is still in effect. I suggest that, generally, no Profile changes should be saved when an edit session is closed using 'CANCEL'.

Stef:
Please check out the PROF LOCK command. Profiles are either Locked or Unlocked. If you LOCK a profile, then any commands you use to alter settings are only effective for the duration of that session. If UNLOCKED, then any changes are made to the saved profile variables.

I know sometimes when you want to change a saved value it's a pain to do PROF UNLOCK; setting change; PROF LOCK, but as Robert described, the timing of these things makes almost any other solution unworkable.
