Options do not save

[DWAK-ATTK]

Windows 8.1 (full updates)
HexEdit 2.0.6.49

Open a file, Click Tools menu, select Options item.
Change Font dropdown to any value (I chose Consolas, then BatangChe, and Book Antiqua).

The Apply button never becomes enabled.
Pressing OK closes the Options dialog window, but does not apply the new option values.

The same on Windows 7.

And when yo are Closing HexEdit, a File with a (somewhat random) funny name (e.g. "ሐA") is written into the application's directory containing but the follwing lines:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes" ?>
<hexFileData>
    <bookmarks />
</hexFileData>

On Windows 10, with version 2.0.9 of HexEdit, settings still do not save, nor do they have any effect. I tested with both the x86 and the x64 versions.
