Description

I have set a custom display resolution (by the settings.cfg) to 1900x1000 (because I'm running Windowed mode) on a 1920x1080 screen in multi-monitor setup.
Then, If you change the UI scale in the game, the display resolution will reset immediately to 1024x768.

Very much annoying because then I need to open the config file again and restart the game if I want to change the UI scale.

How to replicate:
Set a custom display resolution in settings.cfg
Start the game
Change the UI scale
Click apply

Edit: Ehh, modifying any setting resets the resolution. Even changing the sound volume etc. Even more much annoying.

If you set the video resolution to something not natively supported by your GPU then the main settings show Custom. There was a bug where changing another setting would cause the resolution to reset to a supported resolution (usually the native resolution of the display) and then the only way to change it back to your custom values was to quit and edit the settings.cfg again. This bug was fixed but the same problem happens with the in-game settings (hit escape, then click Settings) presumably because the resolution control isn't present and something isn't being initialised correctly.
