Console settings not holding

2 RHFB running 3.1.7
1 Linksys unmanaged switch
All data via Art-net
6 Art-net nodes
1 Media server with 5 layers by Art-net

I came across an interesting bug. I was running two consoles, one for lights one for media. I changed the encoder resolution on the media console lower so I could have better control of the folders and media. This apparently affected the lights console and they adjusted back and affected my console.

Some other various settings such as default timings also were not console independent.

I was of the understanding that these settings and preferences are supposed to be console independent. Am I misunderstanding how these are handled?
