You should just edit your config file's existing values into those list's values.
Example: find "auto_connect" and set the value to "false", do the same to the rest.

If it's not available, your can add it to the next line.
Example: if "oneserver" isn't yet configured, add a line containing "oneserver": true,

Note: Do not forget to add "," if it's not the last line or it will result with the same behavior.

BTW, that happens when there's an error in the config file or if Electrum can't parse it.

Hi
Im on Linux Mint 20.1 Cinnamon, i want to setup Electrum to run over EPS, now i have to edit config file to add following as it was described here https://curiosityoverflow.xyz/posts/bitcoin-electrum-wallet/#tor-configuration

Code:

{ "auto_connect": false, 
"oneserver": true, 
"confirmed_only": true, 
"server": localhost:50002:s 
"skipmerklecheck": true, <-- this is important if your node is pruned 
"use_rbf": false }

I also added this in command line of my desktop icon --oneserver --server localhost:50002:s
Now when i edit config file, i save it then close, i start Electrum and all my changes in config file get lost.
How can edit it and save permanently?
