[Bug]:Delimiter options are always removed on starting the application

[MacMcDell]

using 2.70.1
Preconditions (Any important steps we need to know)
none - happens every time.

Steps to reproduce (How to reproduce what you found step by step)
each time I open redis insight, I have to reset my delimiter to '-' as opposed to ':'

this is on multiple machines and multiple different users.

once the new delimiter has been established. closing and re-opening forgets the previous setting.
reviewed ticket where enter key was not preserving. no difference.

Hi @MacMcDell, thanks for reporting this issue :)

Unfortunately, I wasn't able to reproduce it using v2.70.1 on macOS ARM.

Could you please let me know which OS/architecture you're using, and if there's anything I might have missed in my setup while trying to replicate it?

1. Open Redis Insight and connect to an existing database
2. Set up example data via the following

SET dash-string value
SET colon:string value

HSET dash-hash field value
HSET colon:hash field value

3. Set the default delimiter to be -, click Apply, and close the app
4. Open Redis Insight, go to the same database, and see that the default delimiter is still a -, instead of :

This is not my experience and 100% reproduces across 4 different machines. I think the difference here is that on open, the '-' is set. But when you switch dbs, the : is set as default and wipes out the previous settings. See my mp4.

Open a db, the - is default. Switch db, the : is now default. Set the -. Switch db.. the : is back. Set to - . switch, the : is back.

I managed to reproduce it, and I can confirm it’s a bug. Thanks for reporting it!

Currently, the default delimiter is configured per database (so you can have different delimiters based on the type of data you have in each database). But the issue is when you change the active databases from the switcher, for some reason, we don't load the config properly.

We'll let you know when it's fixed 👍
