create cutlist automatically keeps getting checked by default

SW15 SP4

These are the settings I have saved in my doc template

For some reason Automatically create cut lists seems to turn itself on at random times

This causes a problem for me because I have different cutlist items that are occasionally the same external dimensions, so when this option is checked the items merge into one.

Has anyone else noticed this problem? Know what might be causing it? or offer a solution.

Thanks
