Well, sadly I can't do anything with that... If you manage to have a
reproducible, specific workflow, that would help... You might want to
check with xfconf-query what is the real content of the settings
database (to check if the problem lies in the editor dialog).

I think the previous problem might comes from that action. “Reset to
default” *does* reset to defaults, but the dialog seems to miss a
refresh, so it seems that entries are added (and can't be removed) while
they aren't. Re-starting the dialog fixes that.

Yes, same thing as b)

Can you check with xfconf-query or by restarting the dialog? If you can
confirm the behavior, I'll retitle the bug and forward that upstream.
