I had reported the symptom months ago without being able to reproduce it nor explain it but it occured again today and I can reproduce it easily:

• go to reader settings and set your mark as read preference to Automatically mark entries as read when viewed and update.
• go to application settings and add some invalid block rule like EntryTags=(?i)(JEUX DE RÔLE) where Tags in plural form is wrong and should be singular instead...
• save the changes / click update...
• Miniflux complains because of the typo in block rules, and already your reader settings are reset for the mark as read preference with zero option selected: the selection is just blank/empty.
• go to the application settings and correct the typo in EntryTags to be EntryTags.
• save the application settings
• your application settings are now correct but your reader settings are set to the first option in the list: Mark entries as read manually even if you have never touched it for months.

Can someone else confirm if this can be reproduced with other instances?
