You may _only_ have clicked on that choice for information purposes. Regardless of your motive, this is specifying a value. Users understand, from using other setup utilities, that if you put in a different value for an option, and then you say "Save changes", you change the value. If you don't want to do that, you had better either put it back, or exit without saving. We can help prevent accidents by making "Save new settings" show a list of options whose values are about to be changed.
