Settings lost when plugin is deactivated

Hey guys,

LOVE this plugin – one of my top 3 plugins of all time. That had to be said.

I am having the following problem: When I deactivate the newest version of better wp security (so in the wordpress plugin section) and then activate it again, it has all default settings – so the settings I had previously set (prior to deactivating the plugin) are all overwritten.

I think this problem is new – as I never had the same thing with previous versions. Is this intended or a bug?

Thanks a lot,
Peter
