Using previous apertures seems to reinstate previous settings

In the multi-aperture dialog of AIJ 3.2.1db, I found that whenever I am reusing previously defined apertures, some of the settings in this window are ignored. Instead, it appears to me that the settings that were originally used when these apertures were defined are reapplied.

Example:
I define a few apertures with "reposition aperture to object centroid" disabled, and exctract photometry.
Later, I am selecting "use previous x apertures" and enable "reposition aperture to object centroid".
As a result, the apertures are not repositioned to the centroids, although this option was selected. Only when I disable the "use previous apertures" option and redefine all apertures again, the apertures reposition according to the centroids.
Therefore, it seems to me that apertures have some features that are inherited when they get reused, independent of the new settings on the multi-aperture measurement window.

I need to do systematic testing which other settings in the dialog box are affected, and if a downgrade to 3.2.0 resolves the issue.

Has anyone else observed this behavior?
