Auto-disconnect keeps unsetting itself

[ChrisW]

I like to have auto-disconnect set up and in use.
However, maybe around once a week, it un-sets itself and
I have to go back into
Options/Connections/Settings/Advanced to re-check the two
boxes "disconnect if idele for more than ..."
and "disconnect when connection may no longer be needed".
Why does this happen?
Am I unwittingly unsetting it through some other action
that I take every now and then?
Is there some other place I should be setting it, which
is more robust?
Thanks for any advice.

Thanks for any advice.

Try the following and see if it helps:
